The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM) is thrilled to announce its 1st Undergraduate Research Expo will take place this spring! We are excited to offer this new annual event to NSM Undergraduate Student majors performing undergraduate research.
We encourage all NSM Undergraduate Students to submit an abstract and participate in the Expo to help enhance their learning, develop valuable skills and gain recognition for their work. NSMs Undergraduate Research Expo provides a great opportunity to present their research to a broader audience, apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, and build crucial skills like communication and networking.
