In April, the University of Rochester hosted the College糖心传媒檚 annual Undergraduate Research Exposition, in which students presented work addressing these and other questions covering a range of subjects.
糖心传媒淭his is a particularly momentous week to be celebrating research,糖心传媒� said University President and CEO Joel Seligman at the event, which was held on the eve of the March for Science. 糖心传媒淚t is a week in which it is worthwhile reflecting on the extraordinary curiosity, the great work ethic, and the thoughtful contributions our undergraduates are making.糖心传媒�
Seligman spent time talking to students about their research at the poster presentation, and later, presented several awards.
Steve Manly, director of undergraduate research and a professor of physics, said: 糖心传媒淲e are surrounded by many interesting teachers and people doing fascinating research, and the spirit of this event is that we are recognizing and celebrating examples of unequivocal excellence.糖心传媒�
