Eastern students conduct research in every major. Unlike at larger institutions, where faculty-mentored research is chiefly conducted by graduate students, Eastern students can start conducting professional research as early as their first year. Research projects can be team-based and part of a class or conducted as independent study. Students also have a host of presentation and publication opportunities to share their research and learn valuable professional/academic skills in the process. Faculty mentors in each academic department support student researchers, with overall coordination provided by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity.
The scholarly and artistic aptitude of Eastern students was proudly exhibited at the 25th annual CREATE conference on April 25. Standing for "Celebrating Research and Creative Activity at Eastern," more than 100 participants presented a wide variety of talks, research, posters, artwork, and films.
From artificial intelligence (AI) on Mars to the impacts of cult brainwashing on parenting, nine Eastern students showcased their work at the 2025 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), held April 7-9 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
History students at Eastern Connecticut State University and visiting students from other Connecticut State Universities (CSUs) presented research at the CSU Making History Conference on March 28 in the Student Center. The conference was broken into sessions that covered legacies of oppression, domestic/international crises, documenting/reinterpreting the past, and other topics.
