Undergraduate Research moves to under the Capital Dome

Students from the University of Michigan's three campuses (Flint, Dearborn, and Ann Arbor), Michigan State University, and Wayne State University will celebrate the contributions undergraduate students are making to the State of Michigan through their engagement in cutting edge research at the sixth annual Michigan Undergraduate Research Forum to be held at the State Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday, March 24. From 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m., 12 students from the universities will present the important role of undergraduate research in higher education, as well as underscore the role of research in addressing critical state issues and needs.
