The Drapeau Center for Undergraduate Research (DCUR) at Southern Miss supports all aspects of undergraduate research and creative activity, including community-engaged projects. Center initiatives are funded by generous contributions from its benefactor, Mr. Donald Drapeau, and from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
There are many opportunities for Southern Miss undergraduate students to get involved
in research, creative or other scholarly activities, find funding for these activities,
or share their work on campus and beyond.
