Prove it.
Or prove it wrong. Either way, you need to go where your ideas lead you. Student research is not only encouraged at Wake Forest; it’s backed by one of our most popular Centers, the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) Center.
In the past 11 editions (2011-19, 2021-22), Undergraduate Research Day at Wake Forest has featured 1,479 presentations, more than 95% of which have been mentored by one or more faculty members. The research has been as close to home as campus and as far away as Vietnam, one of nearly 60 foreign countries to which students have traveled in pursuing their work.
The chance to work side-by-side with your professors while creating new knowledge together is an experience that’s hard to beat. That’s one of the reasons we don’t limit student research to upper-class students. At Wake Forest, this experience is open to everyone.
So make sure to pack your ideas. We can’t wait to meet them, too.
