OUR supports research-related activities and events with a research component. As an example, a past partnership was used to host a Power Dialogue Webinar: Climate Solutions for Nevada, a Solve Climate by 2030 event.

OUR’s triannual research symposia would not be possible without our student volunteers. OUR Staff will contact RSOs with specific tasks and volunteer schedules.

OUR Staff will reach out to the representative of the funded organization to represent OUR in events as well as participate in two OUR events. Examples of the former include New Student Orientation tabling events, research panelist opportunities, and research showcases.
