On April 12-16, the Office of Graduate Studies, Office of Undergraduate Research, and the Office of Research and Economic Development held digital Student Research Days. Over 200 graduate and undergraduate college students participated within the week-long celebration of scholar analysis and inventive work.
Faculty, postdoc and graduate scholar judges met with college students throughout Zoom Q-and-As and evaluated their shows. Graduate college students had been awarded with $400 journey grants to assist with convention journey prices. Undergraduates had been awarded prizes valued at $250 sponsored by their educational faculties. Links to their video shows are offered under.
