Spring 2023 Undergraduate Research Conference Showcase
April 2023
The 2023 Undergraduate Research Conference is almost here! On Friday, April 7th, the selected students will showcase their innovative research at the Tampa campus. For months, they have been working with their mentors to create a well-crafted presentation that explores the intricacies of their field.
Every year, this event gives students an opportunity to offer their perspectives on a topic of their choosing and work with faculty staff to discover what research is all about. There are endless benefits derived from this experience. Professionally, students can expand their network and gain marketable skills to help them in their graduate or career journey. Some of these skills include self-confidence, leadership, independence, and readiness for more demanding research. In addition, the event helps presenters foster invaluable mentor-student relationships and provides a safe space to disseminate their discoveries. In developing their work, students also learn about research design, data collection, information literacy, and communication.
Being committed to student learning, the office of High Impact Practices and Undergraduate Studies (HIPUR) also offers scholarship opportunities to presenters. This year the funding provided by The Florida High Tech Corridor and 国产短视频Research and Innovation will help students cover the costs of presenting at the Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium on July 28th, 2023.
From renewable energy to the exploration of Purgatory, the Undergraduate Research Conference covers virtually every field and topic. There will be over 150 student presentation at the showcase, each offering their take on the world of academia.
Support our students doing research by stopping by the Tampa campus MSC second floor for poster sessions, presentations, and performances this Friday, April 7, from 9 am to 3 pm. Celebrate the discoveries and achievements of our 国产短视频students.
The St. Petersburg campus held their showcase on April 6th and the Sarasota-Manatee campus showcase was on March 31st.
