University of Texas at Dallas students got the opportunity to envision a possible future in research that they may not have considered during the annual Exhibition of Excellence in Undergraduate Research held April 10-15. “It’s kind of shocking just how possible this is to do.”Sponsored and organized by the Office of Undergraduate Education, the exhibition aimed to recognize undergraduate research while inspiring others to try their hands at the art of inquiry. “Participating in undergraduate research is one of many ways that students can enhance their experience while cultivating transferable skills,” said Courtney Brecheen MPA’09, PhD’17, interim dean of undergraduate education. “The Exhibition of Excellence in Undergraduate Research provides opportunities for all students to explore undergraduate research and celebrates the research productivity of undergraduates and their supporting faculty and staff.”The exhibition culminated with the Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards Poster Contest Finals, which featured 12 projects that had been narrowed from 241 entries. In addition to the poster contest, students attended a research panel of faculty and students, demonstrations of tools to locate research labs, resume workshops, and a match-day with more than 20 labs and 160 students.
