President’s Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence

Turnbull Conference Center

Sponsored by the Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement (CRE), FSU's Office of the President, and the Student Government Association, the Showcase is the culmination of the Undergraduate Summer Research Award experience. At the Showcase, award winners share their research and creative projects through poster and oral presentations. The summer awards are a reflection of the University's commitment to developing students as scholars and innovators and are a testament to the stimulating education undergraduates receive at Florida State.

These students' projects share in the University's mission of nurturing independent thinkers, who are learning to create solutions that enrich both our campus and our larger communities. The 2015 Showcase was held Monday, September 28th at FSU's Turnbull Conference Center.
