The Office of Research and Economic Development, Office of Graduate Studies, and the Office of Undergraduate Research sponsored four poster sessions for students to present their work at Student Research Days April 11-12.
Students had the option to compete in a poster competition. Top graduate presenters earned $400 travel grants and awards to support their research work. Top undergraduate presenters were supported by their respective colleges and provided a $250 financial award. Nearly 100 graduate students and more than 200 undergraduates presented their work.
