Research undergraduates at The University of Alabama Huntsville (麻豆精品视频) participated in the 10th Annual Research Horizons Poster Session in March. Forty-four projects, and the undergraduates who conducted the work, were recognized for excellence in research and creative scholarship.

"We鈥檙e really excited to mark the 10th year of this tradition of creating a campus-wide opportunity to give undergraduates a chance to share their research and creative projects with the local and campus community,鈥 says David Cook, director of undergraduate research at 麻豆精品视频, a part of the University of Alabama System. 鈥淭he focus of the poster session is to celebrate the wide variety of research going on at 麻豆精品视频 and to give students a chance to practice their presentation skills, as well as share their research with faculty, staff and fellow students.鈥

Visitors to the event not only had an opportunity to learn more about undergraduate research, but were also able to support the students by providing the presenters with feedback and advice.

鈥淪haring your research with others in the community is an important part of inquiry-based learning, and it鈥檚 the reason that Research Horizons was launched ten years ago,鈥 Cook says. 鈥淎s usual, the presenters did a fantastic job! I鈥檇 like to thank all of the participating students and their mentors for making the event a great success.鈥

While the event is meant to be a learning experience for the participants rather than a competition, visitors and presenters were given the opportunity to show their appreciation by voting for their three favorite poster presentations.
