Student Researcher of the Year Award

Each year, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Undergraduate Research Advisory Board invite nominations for the annual Xavier Undergraduate Research award. This award is given to a graduating senior who has demonstrated an excellent track record of participation in research throughout their time at Xavier.

In nominating students, the broadest definition of research and creative activity is encouraged. The winner of the XUR award, selected by the Undergraduate Research Advisory Board from a pool of nominated students, is honored at the Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creativity.
