Undergraduate Research Day and Creative Performances and Projects is a celebration of student engagement in research and creative effort across disciplines.
Each poster, presentation, project, or display marks the culmination of intense individual or team effort in books, in lab, in the field, studio, or on stage. The culmination of each student’s work reflects the mastery of both methods and foundational learning as students transition toward advanced study or professional work.
Three Components:
Poster Session
Overview:
- Poster sessions for all disciplines in all schools.
- Students present research, field questions, and discuss further research possibilities.
