Undergraduate Research Centers at UCLA

Undergraduate Research Week is produced by the Undergraduate Research Center – Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences and the Undergraduate Research Center – Sciences in collaboration with the UCLA Division of Undergraduate Education, UCLA Library, and UCLA Alumni Affairs.

The Undergraduate Research Centers at UCLA acknowledge the Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the taraaxatom (indigenous peoples) in this place. As a land grant institution, we pay our respects to Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders), and ‘eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
