Join Us!
Come celebrate URCAD’s 30th anniversary on April 22, 2026!
The event will be moving to a bigger space in the RAC… how do you see your work being presented there?
Posters, oral talks, films, exhibits, and performances are welcome. URCAD is open to all majors and group projects are accepted. You can present your capstone, Honors thesis, REU research, or you can be unaffiliated with a scholars program.
Applications to present mentored research or creative work will be available on January 2, 2026 here on the web. Applications will be due by February 16th and require a 200-word abstract and mentor approval. See you at the RAC as we showcase UMBC student research and art and throwback to the 90s!
