SCCUR

California Lutheran University students are given a wide variety of opportunities to interact with local, regional, national, and international communities. In particular The Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research (SCCUR) allows students from all disciplines to present their research, scholarship, and creative work during this celebration of undergraduate discovery, held each November. This year, SCCUR will be held on the campus of Mt. San Antonio College on November 19, 2011.

The deadline for abstract submission is Monday, October 3, 2011.

CLU English students are encouraged to prepare projects, and have presented at the SCCUR conferences in 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2009. CLU faculty help support this effort by chairing various conference sessions, participating in SCCUR workshops, helping their students prepare abstracts for submission, and taking students to the conferences to present their work.
