2022 Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors, Award Winners
The annual Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors was held April 20, 2022 and was an opportunity for undergraduates to present, to a larger audience, what they have learned through their research. The symposium also provided a forum for students, faculty, and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and examine relationships among research, education, and discovery through presentations and poster sessions.
We are especially proud of the more than 250 student researchers and nearly 100 faculty mentors who found a way to continue to conduct and present research in the face of various pandemic-related obstacles.
See below for the winners of the 2022 Research Symposium.
Congratulations to all of this year’s Research Symposium participants and mentors.
