April 8, 2019 FIU Wellness & Recreation Center 10:00AM – 7:00PM Florida International University Modesto A. Maidique Campus 1 Welcome to the 2019 Conference for Undergraduate Research at FIU Undergraduate research is one of the pillars for student success. Every student should have an opportunity to engage in meaningful research during their time at FIU. The Conference for Undergraduate Research at FIU is a university-wide showcase open to FIU students from any major to show off their work. It is one of the largest multi-disciplinary conferences of its kind in the Southeast. This year, students will present over 200 posters and will share their work during this one-day event. Students from local high schools will also be attending the conference to see what our undergraduates are doing in labs, working groups, and in the field. The 2019 Conference for Undergraduate Research at FIU is organized by the Honors College on behalf of the university. Research is at the core of our mission. Almost every one of our students engage in significant research during their time at Honors, many through the Advanced Research and Creativity in Honors (ARCH) programs that helps students find research mentors at FIU. In addition to the conference, Honors sponsors the new undergraduate research hub, a searchable website where students can search for research opportunities at FIU and at institutions around the world. Special thanks to units and individuals who provided their support: Sabrina Rosell, SGA President; Regina Bailey, FIU Arts Senior Project Manager; Amy Reid, Program Coordinator for MARC U*STAR; Isabela Corzo, Program Coordinator for the McNair Scholars Program; Dr. Alla Mirzoyan, Program Director for the McNair Scholars Program and Andrea Green, Project Lead for FIU Department of Psychology. I would also like to thank Provost Kenneth Furton for his support for undergraduate research at FIU.
