Agenda

This agenda will be updated as changes occur, check back in for more details.

 

The purpose of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry Across the Disciplines is to recognize and to celebrate the accomplishments of undergraduate student researchers. The topics will include research in the areas of agriculture, business, education, engineering, health sciences, biological and physical sciences, mathematical sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities.

Two awards will be given by Phi Beta Kappa. The first category honors a project that showcases excellence in non-vocational, non-professional or non-technical studies. The second award is given to projects that articulate the interfaces between science and the human condition in a nuanced way that shows understanding and not simply consideration. Winners expertly knit together the physical, intellectual, ethical and social interfaces of the project. If you want your project to be considered for either of these opportunities, please indicate so on the registration form. For more information on these awards and PBK take a look at their site.
