STEM Student Research Group

Provided By

The STEM Student Research Group provides opportunities for student research. The goal of this program is to expose undergraduate students to authentic research. This program is held primarily during the academic year; however, the possibility to continue undergraduate research into the summer term exists. Students participating in this research opportunity meet weekly during the fall and spring semesters. Students can present their research at student poster sessions in the local area.
