Kent State’s University Library will display 10-12 student research posters to celebrate phenomenal undergraduate research.
The display, ranging from cell research to marketing, will be on the first floor of the library for the remainder of the semester. Individual colleges and all regional campuses were asked to submit student displays. University Libraries hopes to make the event bigger next year.
Lindsey Miller, senior biology major at Kent State Stark campus, has a research poster on biology cell growth on display at the library.
“This poster basically got me into grad school,” Miller said. “I presented it in December at a national meeting in Philadelphia at the American Society of Cell Biology.”
Miller will attend graduate school at Ohio State University.
“We want to showcase how hard our students work,” said James Bracken, dean of University Libraries. “It’s a celebration of undergraduate research. We’re proud of what our students accomplish.”
