The Undergraduate Exhibition is co-sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Schreyer Honors College in partnership with the University Libraries and Phi Kappa Phi Honorary Society. Undergraduate research would not be possible without the mentorship of dedicated faculty. We sincerely thank those individuals who dedicate their time and expertise to shape the future of student research. As you visit the presentations today, please take intentional care to observe who made each project possible. We also thank those who are making today’s Undergraduate Exhibition possible by taking on the essential role of volunteer judge, both evaluating projects and giving our students invaluable The 2018 Undergraduate experience in communicating their research.
