DUSCI

Drake Undergraduate Science Collaborative Institute (DUSCI) was created in April of 2005 to promote, support and coordinate efforts to fund undergraduate research in math and science. The Institute is a platform for interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations among faculty and students in the sciences and mathematics.

Activities promoted and supported by DUSCI include: (i) summer and academic year undergraduate research activities, (ii) Drake Science Colloquium Series which features Drake faculty and invited external speakers, (iii) Life After Drake Series which brings in successful alumni to celebrate their accomplishments, offer the students the opportunity to obtain advise in different fields and develop a relationship with alums, and (iv) Drake University Conference on Undergraduate Research in the Sciences (DUCURS) which provides a forum to showcase scientific results of faculty/student collaborative research in math and science.
