Purpose
- Create a student-reported mechanism to recognize undergraduate accomplishments in research leading to dissemination beyond the UNCW community.
- Encourage students who complete a DIS or Honors project to "take the next step" and present or publish results for an off-campus audience.
- Provide a benchmark measure of curricular and extracurricular activities related to undergraduate research for use in university planning, recruiting, public relations, etc.
