These students placed at the top of scoring in the Undergrad Research Symposium for their poster and oral presentations

Every year, faculty and graduate students serve as judges during the Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium, evaluating both Poster and Oral presentations. From their scores, we publish the names of the students who ranked at the very top. Each symposium award winner receives a cash prize, gets a shout-out in the Office of Undergraduate Research Scholar's Monthly Undergraduate Research Blast newsletter, and has the opportunity to be featured on the Office of Undergraduate Research's website.

Congratulations to this year's award winners!
