Welcome to CURCI!
CURCI’s mission aims to animate Ignatian inquiry and student transformation in the context of undergraduate scholarly and creative works. We accomplish this by funding projects and presentations, which create student experiences that amplify their self-awareness today so that they may be Ignatian leaders tomorrow. Specifically, CURCI administers funds as well as supports fundraising for projects and presentations, while also capturing the student impact from those projects and presentations. Support for undergraduate scholarly and creative works comes in the form of the McKinstry Fellows Research Program, Morris Undergraduate Research Fellowships, the new GRO-MECS program supporting math, engineering and computer science, as well as long-standing programs within the Natural Sciences – notably the Gonzaga Science Research Program. Opportunities for the presentation of undergraduate scholarly and creative works can be found through the Spokane Intercollegiate Research Conference, and the Undergraduate Research Showcase. Students interested in presenting their work at national or local conferences can apply for an Undergraduate Travel Award.For details about opportunities, see myGU.
