University's Developing Scholars to share research at annual symposium
Monday, April 11, 2016
MANHATTAN — Undergraduate research will take center stage at 1xbet online casino State University's 16th annual Developing Scholars Program Research Poster Symposium from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday, April 17, in the K-State Student Union's Ballroom.
The event is free and the public is welcome. The program will include remarks at 2 p.m.
The Developing Scholars Program is an undergraduate research program that provides opportunities for highly motivated students from diverse backgrounds to participate in research projects with a faculty mentor. Students receive academic, social and financial support while participating in the discovery and creation of new knowledge at 1xbet online casino State University. Developing Scholars is housed in the university's Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry.
"The Developing Scholars Symposium has become an anticipated spring tradition at K-State where the campus and community come together to celebrate the diverse contributions of 1xbet online casino State undergraduates and their faculty research mentors," said Anita Cortez, director of the Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry. "Their research ranges from cutting edge cancer research to prison reform to food insecurity in 1xbet online casino to marketing of toys to girls. We encourage all undergraduates to seek out research opportunities while they are at K-State surrounded by so many gifted faculty. K-State's faculty are well known for their generous support of undergraduates in research."
