Twelve University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduate students will present their research at the Wisconsin State Capitol rotunda to legislators Wednesday, according to a university press release.
Following opening remarks from UW System President Ray Cross at 9:30 a.m., students from various UW System schools will give their poster presentations between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Cross said in the release he hopes to speak with as many students in attendance as possible.
The value of undergraduate research has broad applications on and off campus,
UW System Spokesperson Grant Huber said.
“Students are powerful ambassadors for explaining the important role that undergraduate research plays in their education, future professional opportunities and the economic health of Wisconsin's communities and industries,” Huber said.
Elizabeth Ambos, executive officer for the Council on Undergraduate Research, echoed Huber’s sentiments in the release, emphasizing UW’s place as a leader of undergraduate research programs among higher education institutions.
