RSAC’s mission is to represent students by advising and providing feedback to the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR); to raise awareness of research opportunities and foster relationships between students and faculty; and to facilitate the effective communication of opinions, ideas, and knowledge regarding undergraduate research between the OUR, the Undergraduate Research Committee (URC) within the Senate of College Councils, the college councils, and the research-based organizations and programs across campus. This fall RSAC is one of the three student organizations that is organizing the Capital of Texas Undergraduate Research Conference.
