College Initiatives
The STEM Research Conference is an academic platform designed to showcase the research achievements of scholars across the full educational spectrum, from high school students and undergraduates to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career professionals, as well as faculty mentors who support their work. This annual conference provides participants with an opportunity to present their original STEM research and scholarly work to the university community, fostering a culture of inquiry, collaboration, and academic excellence.
The Dean’s Excellence Fellowship is a distinguished two-year program that supports undergraduate students in the College of Sciences who are ready to take the next steps in pursuing advanced research experiences under the mentorship of UTRGV faculty.
