IN A FLASH: It's Undergraduate Research Week

Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State kicked off National Undergraduate Research Week (April 17-21) with one of its biggest annual research events. The Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Science and Creative Endeavors on Monday was presented by the Office of Student Research in the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Student Center.

At this year’s symposium, 284 student researchers presented 150 posters illustrating their research.

The high level of research activity involving faculty and students on Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's campuses has earned the university the prestigious R1 designation from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. R1 status is the highest recognition that doctoral universities can receive, and Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State is one of only five universities in Ohio to have earned it. At Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State, students have the opportunity to participate in meaningful research, working side-by-side with university researchers, as early as their first year of classes.
