Welcome to University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum!
Hosted on Symposium by ForagerOne
Welcome to the 24th University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF) at Michigan State University! UURAF (pronounced: you-raf) provides Michigan State undergraduate students with an opportunity to showcase their research and creative endeavors. This forum features over 750 student presenters from 17 different colleges. These students were mentored by over 500 faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and industry partners. We encourage our student participants, research mentors, and other visitors to view and learn about the impressive work of our next generation of scholars, performers, and researchers. Thank you for joining us either here online or at the Breslin Center.

PROVISIONAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We collectively acknowledge that Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. In particular, the University resides on Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. We recognize, support, and advocate for the sovereignty of Michigan’s twelve federally-recognized Indian nations, for historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, for Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those who were forcibly removed from their Homelands. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold Michigan State University more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
