All are welcome to join us for the 18th Annual UGROW Research Symposium that concludes our summer undergraduate intensive research program. The student researchers will present on each of the projects at the CSC's Comanche North Room. Feel free to either come-and-go for selected presentations or make yourself comfortable for a whole-morning's worth of exceptional work.
