The Conference began in 2004 as a small gathering of communication students from western New York, and has grown into a vibrant regional conference. Sponsored by the School of Communication and held annually at Rochester Institute of Technology.
In its first 12 years, the conference attracted more than 850 conferees from 34 colleges and universities in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Texas, North Carolina, Washington, and Virginia.
All accepted research papers are published in a handsome paperback, which is available for purchase online.
The Conference for Undergraduate Research and Creativity in Communication functions to renew our shared commitment to communication research and creativity to underscore our appreciation for the students whose work touches all edges of the discipline's broad boundaries.
