Submit a Proposal to UWill Discover!

The organizers of UWill Discover—the first annual University of Windsor Undergraduate Research Conference—have issued a call for proposals from undergraduate students in all disciplines.

An opportunity to showcase work in a professional setting before peers, faculty, and the community, the conference will take place over one day in March 2015.
