OUR opened in 2009 with the goal of getting UWM's undergraduate students involved in the cutting-edge research at UWM.

OUR offers services such as:
  • Helping students get connected with a research projects in a variety of fields for things like the natural sciences to arts and everything in-between.
  • Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), which pairs students with faculty research mentors for academic credit
  • Support for Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) program, which enables faculty research mentors to co-apply with top-performing students to provide an hourly wage for the student's work on a faculty-led research project
  •  A Summer Research Program for Incoming Students

The office is open Monday-Thursday 9:00am-4:30pm and Fridays 9:00am-3:00pm and is located in Bolton Hall Room 192 ( Right by the doors near the UWM Library). They also have a website (our.uwm.edu) which allows you look current research in need of student help.
