What's New

Congratulations to the category winners and runners-up from WVU's 5th annual, virtual Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium. Thank you to all of our presenters for making this our best virtual event yet!

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

The 2020 Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium was a success. In a year in which we had to distance ourselves from each other to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, the symposium was a virtual experience and students uploaded their pre-recorded presentations to our website and engaged in “synchronous commenting” with participants, using the YouTube virtual platform. A total of 55 students, participating in research programs at WVU ( RAP, EXCEL, Beckman), presented their research and creative endeavors in 6 different categories. Congratulations to our winners and runner up!
