Research, scholarly work and creative activities are an integral part of a student鈥檚 college experience, and 5X社区 wants to give our students an opportunity to showcase and be recognized for this work. On April 2, the university will hold its first Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity. Students in all majors and at all campuses are encouraged to participate.
Faculty members who engage students in research, either independently or through course-based projects, should encourage students to participate.
Students who take part in the Undergraduate Symposium can:
- Compete for cash awards.
- Develop research and presentation skills.
- Prepare for graduate school or professional opportunities.
- Share the topic they explored with the Kent State community.
Students can begin the process by submitting a brief abstract about their research projects, scholarly initiatives or creative activities between Jan. 13 and Feb. 17. Details about the symposium can be found at www.kent.edu/undergradstudies/ugresearch. If you have any questions about the symposium, contact Eboni Pringle at epringle@kent.edu.
The symposium is sponsored by the Office of the Provost, Honors College, Research and Sponsored Programs, Undergraduate Studies and University Libraries.
