On October 24, 2024, the Name Review Board (NRB) announced its decision to remove the Woodrow Wilson name from the prestigious undergraduate research fellowship<\/a> overseen by the Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity (URSCA). For now, the fellowship will be known as the University Undergraduate Research Fellowship (UURF), with the possibility of a new name being assigned at a future date. While the name is changing, the fellowship program itself remains the same: it will continue to provide $10,000 of funding to a select group of Krieger School undergraduates to pursue a three-year research project of their own design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about the NRB’s decision to de-name the Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship, please see the Hub article, Recommendations made on fellowship, residence hall entry named for former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For more context on and community responses to the de-naming, please see the News-Letter article, Name Review Board recommends renaming of the Woodrow Wilson research fellowship and contextualization of AMR entryway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
