The CCMPS Research Showcase and Grad Preview brought together students, faculty and researchers from across campus on October 21st to explore research opportunities, exchange ideas and learn more about graduate studies across the College.
The showcase sparked conversations across the CCMPS community as attendees shared ideas, asked questions and discovered new areas of research.
For some students, it was a chance to present their work and connect with others in their field. For others, it offered a closer look at graduate school and the many paths available after their undergraduate studies.
A huge thank you goes out to the staff, faculty and student volunteers whose dedication made the event possible. Their time, energy and enthusiasm helped create a welcoming space for students to learn, connect and explore new opportunities.
Among a strong field of participants, several students were recognized for their outstanding presentations:
