SURFD is hosting Dartmouth's very first Undergraduate Research Week from April 20-24, 2026. This celebration of curiosity, creativity, and academic achievement will showcase the innovative research students are conducting across disciplines and will recognize the dedication and mentorship that supports this work.

This self-paced scavenger hunt will take you to five research hubs on campus (here's the map). Snap a picture of yourself doing the following:

• Standing with a blooming plant at the Life Sciences Center Greenhouse
• Giving a thumbs-up at the Visual Arts Digital Lab at the Black Visual Arts Center
• Pointing to the latest public exhibit at Rauner Library
• Making a heart with your hands near the penguin lamp at the Jones Media Center front desk (he's their mascot!)
• Posing in front of a poster at the Climate Week Student Poster Session in the ECSC Atrium (only April 23, 2-4PM)

Make sure to use the hashtag #DartmouthURW2026 to be entered into the cash prize raffle at the end of Undergraduate Research Week! Want TWO entries? Make sure you're wearing Dartmouth branded clothing or a piece of flare in your photos.
