Each year, the showcase brings together undergraduates from all disciplines, their faculty mentors, and members of the community to learn about the various types of research being done by undergraduate students at UK. This occasion provides these students the opportunity to demonstrate and discuss their specific projects and the professional advancements the projects helped achieve. It not only provides a great learning experience for the participants, but for the attendees as well, who gain more knowledge about the world around them, as well as the depth of undergraduate involvement in research at UK.

Over 350 students will be presenting their research this year.

The Showcase of Undergraduate Scholars is open to the public; students, faculty and staff are highly encouraged to attend. For more information, visit www.uky.edu/academy/showcase.

The Office of Undergraduate Research is a part of the Academy for Undergraduate Excellence within the Division of Undergraduate Education at UK.
