ORAL PRESENTATIONS

Five faculty members and two graduate students were recently named recipients of the Travis Stimeling Award for Mentoring Undergraduates in Research. 

Sponsored by the  Office of Undergraduate Research and the  Office of the Provost, the award serves to recognize and reward faculty and graduate students who encourage and support undergraduates in making an original intellectual or creative contribution to their discipline. 

Twenty-five West Virginia University students will participate in Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol from 8 to 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 19, in Charleston.

Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol provides students the opportunity to present their original scholarly works during a poster session and to talk with legislators about their findings. More than 100 student researchers from five institutions will present in the areas of creative arts, education, health sciences, humanities, STEM and social and behavioral sciences.
