In Greek mythology, nine muses presided over the arts and sciences, inspiring creative and intellectual pursuits. Drawing from this, the Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Endeavors is excited to introduce the MUSE program, a new leadership initiative that will engage ten outstanding undergraduate students as representatives of their respective school or college.  

MUSE is a multi-disciplinary, diverse team of student leaders, with at least one student from each school and college, who is actively involved in undergraduate research or creative work. They are passionate about helping peers discover similar opportunities and are committed to fostering a campus culture of curiosity, creativity, and scholarly exploration.

MUSE’s will support this mission by: 

  • Hosting biweekly office hours (1 hour each) to mentor and support peers in exploring research and creative opportunities
  • Promoting opportunities by curating and sharing events and announcements from their school or college
  • Supporting UGR outreach efforts, including tabling activities and major office events such as the Research, Creativity, and Innovation Forum 
  • Attending monthly meetings to provide updates, share feedback, and contribute to program planning 
  • Committing to 6 hours a month

Who should apply?
