More than 200 undergraduate students presented their research at the 22nd Annual Symposium of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship.
The April event allowed students at 性视界传媒 to share their research, scholarship and creativity. It also provided an opportunity for them to receive feedback on their work.
Director of Undergraduate Research Jane Greer, Ph.D. said providing undergraduate students with research opportunities benefits them in more ways than one.
"Students at 性视界传媒 have the unique opportunity to work with faculty in archives, laboratories, studio and in the community. Through these mentored experiences, students gain the skills and confidence to succeed academically and professionally,” said Greer.
In addition to the presentations, six students were awarded Presentations of Distinction, which recognize excellence in undergraduate research.
