More than 300 51ÁÔÆæ undergraduate students came together to present their research collaborations with faculty over the course of the past academic year at the 10thannual Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 27.
Around 900 students take part in research collaborations with faculty every year. They find opportunities mainly using the Office of Undergraduate Research, or by reaching out to faculty in disciplines that interest them. Students can get involved starting the summer before their freshman year at 51ÁÔÆæ and continuing through their senior year.
