Thrilled to see our undergraduates presenting their research on April 4th at the 2023 Undergraduate Research Symposium hosted by the Center for Undergraduate Research in the O’Connell Center. This event provides a public platform for undergraduate students to present the findings of their research and importantly includes students from across campus.
