Each spring semester, Penn IUR sponsors the Undergraduate Urban Research Colloquium (UURC), an advanced research seminar for undergraduate scholars with an interest in urban-focused research. The program pairs students with a faculty mentor with expertise in their areas of interest. Students and faculty teams come from academic departments throughout the University, with students receiving credits through the School of Design’s City and Regional Planning Department or the School of Arts and Sciences’ Urban Studies Program.
In the spring of 2021, Penn IUR sponsored the 17th annual UURC. To view the posters and policy presentations of the three student–faculty teams, click the links below:
