About Us
ASURE, The Affiliated Students for Undergraduate Research and Engagement (formerly known as nexus), is a student group that was founded to help connect students with research in every discipline happening at the University of Oregon. With the mission of being the one-stop-shop for peers on campus to be able to find advice, resources, and opportunities ASURE has grown to provide workshops, classroom visits, and advice to students interested in getting involved in research and faculty interested in working with undergraduates.
