Agriculture in a changing climate, race and policing, and waves in the universe are just a few of the topics of STEM programs that more than 70 undergraduates have tackled this summer with WSU mentors. On Friday, Aug. 1, those students will share their research and you are invited to attend.
Please plan to visit the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. in the CUE Atrium at WSU Pullman to talk to the students, read their posters, and hear first-hand about their summer projects and results!
The symposium is hosted by the WSU Office of Undergraduate Research, part of the Division of Academic Engagement and Student Achievement in the provost’s office.
August 1 is also the final day of this year’s WSU-hosted Summer Undergraduate Research program in which students from 51 universities across the country — including WSU — typically applied to participate. Most programs run about 10 weeks. Students work in mentors’ labs and locations on specific projects assigned to them. Throughout summer, they attend weekly group workshops on relevant topics such as writing resumes/CVs, preparing posters, and looking ahead to graduate school.
Before the poster session on Aug. 1, starting at 9 a.m., the students, their mentors, and research associates will attend an end-of-summer ceremony and keynote address featuring a guest speaker. That session will be in-person in CUE 203 just off the atrium and on Zoom (Meeting ID: 986 1535 2872, Passcode: 281942).
