Update
The Committee on Undergraduate Research is charged with fostering the culture of undergraduate research (UR) in writing on behalf of NCTE/CCCC. Established in 2011, this Special Committee operates from the idea that UR benefits not only the students and teachers who work together in different forms of collaborative inquiry but also the programs and departments, institutions, and disciplines that support undergraduate writing researchers, their mentors, and their work. The CCCC Position Statement on Undergraduate Research in Writing Studies and Bibliography further articulates these ideas. The committee also sponsors activities and initiatives affiliated with the CCCC annual convention, including regular data collection and active support for the CCCC Undergraduate Research Poster Session.
