Welcome to the 22nd Annual Research and Student Engagement Expo, a demonstration and celebration of the rich undergraduate research that is conducted on our campus. This year 48 students are presenting 46 research projects on a wide array of topics. The students worked closely with faculty mentors to conceive and develop these projects.
The Expo is being held in tandem with Career Connections Day, featuring representatives from 21 major employers. Career Connections Day is MORE than just an average career fair — it’s an opportunity to meet and network with local professionals and alumni to make connections, learn about careers in your major and generate some leads on internships or jobs in your field.
