2026 Spring Emerging Scholar Calendar of Events

Categories

INTEGRAL – “Yes/No” 100 points

Completion of these activities are required to stay in good standing as an Emerging Research Scholar.

CORE – 40 points

These are the most crucial activities for a scholar’s success in pursuing Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA). The skills developed through these experiences are a foundation of the program and attending them is central to being a "True Scholar."

EXPLORATORY – 30 points

These are for more personalized enrichment and allow scholars to further differentiate themselves from other participants in the program. These activities typically included networking opportunities and produce skills and attributes that you can highlight when seeking an URCA partnership.

SUPPLEMENTAL – 10 points

These opportunities focus on the enrichment of a scholar's personal academic and research goals. While activities are worth less points, some of them can result in attaining additional certificates (e.g., the TTU Library’s Certificate of Completion in Research Strategies.)
