Wall of Distinction
The CURS Wall of Distinction celebrates achievements and excellence in undergraduate research at Augusta University.
Research Distinctions
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship offers two academic research distinctions to all eligible undergraduate students of all majors: Distinction in Research and Distinction of Excellence in Research. Both distinctions celebrate a student's active engagement in the process of discovery,
investigation, and innovation far above and beyond the baccalaureate degree. We celebrate
the following students on their distinctions:
