Purpose
Strategy/Project Description: 

Georgia College aspires to graduate students with creative and problem-solving dispositions that prepare them to be the next leaders of the free world. Georgia College connects teaching excellence with learning beyond the classroom to provide unique undergraduate research experiences for students. "An inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original, intellectual, or creative contribution to the discipline(s)."

MURACE adopts and adheres to the Council on Undergraduate Research by being committed to inclusivity and diversity in all of our activities, therefore MURACE will increase and nurture participation of individuals and groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in undergraduate research.
