This fall, we celebrated the outstanding research opportunities offered to our undergraduate students, made possible through generous donors and initiatives like the new Dean’s Undergraduate Research Scholars program which aims to immerse students, as early as their first year, in the exciting discoveries being made in the College.
Students (listed below) presented the important research they’ve been working on with their faculty mentors to families, friends, faculty, staff, and donors during a special showcase. We’re immensely proud of our exceptional undergraduate students!
