The Cornell Undergraduate Research Board (CURB) is an organization at Cornell University which has the goal of promoting and enhancing Cornell's undergraduate research experience. CURB is made up of various committees which help connect undergraduate students with exciting research opportunities and people. CURB also hosts many events, most notably the annual Fall and Spring research forums which allow undergrads to highlight their research experiences through campus-wide poster sessions. CURB additionally hosts a Humanities Showcase - a smaller-scale research forum focused on work in the humanities. CURB's sponsor is the famous Bruce Monger of Cornell Oceanography fame.

Co-Presidents
In order to promote a spirit of debate instead of blatant totalitarianism, ever since the beginning of CURB, the Board has been led by two presidents. Over the years, the valiant leaders of CURB have gone on to do great work in research, business, and technology at various firms. One example of a success story is Ronnie Forster, CURB Co-President from 2016-2017. He is currently working at Apple.

CURB's current Presidents are Andrea Lo and Isabella Salas-Allende, two valiant women.
