JICUF-Undergraduate Research Day was Held

Update: March 26, 2026

On February 12, 2026, the JICUF-Undergraduate Research Day (URD; informally called Senior Thesis Poster Presentation), with the support of JICUF, was held in the Dialogue House.

Since 2018, this event has been held twice a year for March and June graduates as an event for showcasing excellent senior theses to the greater ICU community. Complementing senior thesis presentations organized by each major, senior theses at JICUF-URD come from all majors so that students who are preparing their senior thesis and faculty members from other majors learn about work done by students in the graduating class. This time, 46 presenters of the 2026 March graduating class from 20 majors shared their senior thesis projects and over 100 students and faculty joined the event. At the end, all presenting students receive a Certificate of Excellence in Research recognizing their academic achievements.

As a university-wide event, the JICUF-URD serves as an opportunity to showcase the liberal arts education at ICU, where the greater ICU community experience diverse sets of research outcomes conducted by the senior students.
