• 1-31- 2008 The Lamar Undergraduate Research Network (LURN) is a new, officially recognized, student organization dedicated to participation in

scholarship, research, and creative activity by undergraduates from all disciplines. We want to promote, present, and motivate the publication of undergraduate research by helping students connect with faculty mentors, attend conferences, participate in academic competitions, and write up the results of their work for publication in state, regional and national journals. Research performed as an undergraduate greatly improves a student's competitiveness when applying to graduate and professional schools as well as for many jobs, and enhances Lamar's reputation as a high-quality academic institution as well. Modest funding to support related travel, equipment, and material costs is available. (See the Student Services tab on myLAMAR.) Please consider joining LURN. Anyone interested in more information at LURN can contact faculty sponsors Ellen Cover at Ellen.Cover@lamar.edu or eccover@my.lamar.edu. or Jeremy Shelton at jashelton@my.lamar.edu.
