University of New Mexico undergraduate students work closely with faculty mentors to conduct innovative and exciting research.  Each spring, this research is celebrated at the annual Undergraduate Research Opportunity Conference (UROC). UROC is a professional research conference reserved solely for undergraduates to spotlight their research, explain their ideas, and display what they have to offer in their respective fields and majors.

The goals of UROC are to:

• Provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to present their research projects in and outside of the classroom/lab.
• Create opportunities for undergraduate students to network with faculty, graduate students, and the greater UNM community.
• Showcase the undergraduate research to UNM communities, including donors, policymakers, local business and industries, and other stakeholders. At UROC 2023, a total of 160 students participated in the various competitions.
