The goals of this day are to recognize the research efforts of faculty members and students, showcase the diversity and growth of research pursuits on campus, and honor Dr. Krantz through our Annual Distinguished Lecture Program.
The purpose is to encourage and promote communication and collaboration between investigators at the University.
This day has been set aside to recognize undergraduate and graduate student research efforts, highlight aspects of faculty Research activities, and showcase the diversity and growth of research pursuits on campus.
Because of the University's size and the fact that the University is a science-based institution, most undergraduate students can conduct research with faculty early in their academic careers.
