The URSCA conference is the annual showcase of the high quality research, scholarship, and creative activities of Whittier College students.
During the conference, students present original works that were completed during the previous summer and current academic year. Students present their work via oral presentations, creative arts explorations, and poster presentations. For many students, participation in the URSCA conference represents the culmination of work on their senior project and, as such, satisfies the capstone experience graduation requirement. This academic event is open to all members of the Whittier College community, which includes our student presenters' families and friends.
