mcbUSA is hosting this fall semester’s Undergraduate Symposium on October 4th! This event is open to anyone interested in presenting a poster about their current research, past research, proposals for future research, or even a literature review. No final results of research are needed; any findings of a project are welcome to be shared!
This is a great opportunity to share your projects and practice presenting a poster! We invite you to join us as an attendee, presenter, or speaker!
