Research Day

An Annual Celebration of Research at the University

At The Catholic University of America, our faculty and students are immersed in a culture of research. In fact, every year, we spend a whole day showcasing the work from a variety of disciplines across the University.

University Research Day (URD) is an annual opportunity for our community to celebrate the University’s long research tradition and explore the extraordinary array of current research being conducted by our students, faculty, and staff.

An Action-Packed Day

Research Day is a day filled with activities. To allow maximum participation for all students and faculty, classes are canceled. Here are a few highlights of this event:

• Oral presentations
• Poster presentations
• Food truck bites
• Musical performances
• Keynote speech
• Awards ceremony

Sample Presentations

Here are just a few of the amazing oral presentations our undergraduate students gave at last year’s University Research Day. Each year, the research presented on this special day covers all academic disciplines and ranges from subjects like theme park design to vaccines to literary analysis.
