4th Annual Undergraduate Research “Speed Data-ing” Event

Students must register to be assured of being able to attend this event.  This event is designed to provide information on research that is occurring in departments on campus and the role of an undergraduate that would be doing research in that department.

Please complete the online registration. We will do our best to connect you to your 1st and 2nd choice disciplines during the event.  We strongly encourage students to register for departments outside their current field to identify research in other areas that they may be interested in learning more about.
