Research Showcase
Please join us as we gather again as an academic community to celebrate research and the achievements of our undergraduate students. Students will be presenting posters and presentations of their undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative work from all departments across campus, including work sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Center, University Honors, and the Center for Community Engagement to Advance Scholarship and Learning. Please support them and their faculty mentors as they celebrate these important accomplishments.
When: May 4, 2023 from 3-5 PM (May the Force be with you on this day! We encourage all students to lean into the Star Wars themed day)
Where: CCOM 1600, 1700, 1800
