The Office of Research and Innovation and the Office of Undergraduate Research are excited to announce that students participating in IUP's Undergraduate Summer Opportunities for Applying Research (U-SOAR) program will present their original scholarship in a capstone symposium on Wednesday, August 21.
The symposium will be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the Blue Room of Sutton Hall. Attendance is free, and the event is open to the public. Student researchers will be present to discuss their projects, and attendees are encouraged to engage with them while enjoying light refreshments.
U-SOAR, in its tenth year at IUP, offers IUP undergraduates an opportunity to do research in a field of their choice with a faculty mentor. The 2024 cohort is comprised of 35 students who conducted innovative research over a 10-week period in diverse topics ranging from how neuroscience affects theater and music to synesthesia with machine learning to the use of boronic acids in drug discovery and treatment.
Additional information about the program can be found on the U-SOAR website.
