Unearthing New Ideas

Undergraduates in the School of Arts and Sciences reinforce the idea that students at any level can tackle complex issues with a fresh perspective. Each year, young scholars are given the opportunity to participate in the annual Undergraduate Research Fair where they spotlight the topics they are most passionate about.

“Research is something I want to pursue in the future because of the year I’ve had in this experience. This is something I love to do.”
– Michael Morse, C’13
