AHS Undergraduate Research Expo
The College of Applied Health Sciences is excited to highlight the impressive research work done by our undergraduate students. These students are expanding their academic experience by participating in faculty research in the College. This year, 78 of these students choose to present their research at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium on campus. This is almost double the amount from the previous year.
