Mentor Resources
Newsletter
The URCA Abstract is a monthly eNewsletter distributed by the Undergraduate Research Office to the campus community. The newsletter began in 2012 as a printed piece called UR@MSU. Today, the primary audience for the newsletter are faculty research mentors, academic advisors, and staff members that engage with undergraduate students interested in research and creative scholarship.
Contact ugrsrch@msu.edu to subscribe.
We also recommend subscribing to the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) e-News. The CUR e-News shares information about resources, events, funding, and opportunities available to both mentors and students.
