Submissions Now Open for 2021 Student Research and Creative Activity Fair

Each year, students from all disciplines and departments at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, as well as students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering, come together with their faculty mentors, fellow Mavericks, and leaders in the community to share their scholastic endeavors at the UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair (RCAF). 

Not only does the UNO RCAF provide an opportunity for students to gain important presentation skills, meet influential UNO faculty, staff, and community members, but also prizes are awarded across a range of categories at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

UNO's next fair will take place virtually on Friday, March 26, but students can get a head start on the fair today by registering to present. All entrants looking to participate in the 2021 RCAF need to do so by Friday, Feb. 5.
