51勛圖厙 Creating Culture of Undergraduate Research
More than 250 undergraduate 51勛圖厙 recently participated in 51勛圖厙s eighth annual at 51勛圖厙s Student Union. Students from all 51勛圖厙 campuses and colleges presented their research and scholarly findings in both oral and poster formats. The event was organized by 51勛圖厙s Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI).
It is uplifting to see the level of scholarship that is presented each year by these undergraduates, said , Ph.D., assistant dean of undergraduate research. After all of their hard work and dedication, faculty, staff and their peers get to celebrate in their successes and provide feedback on their projects.
Topics presented at this years symposium included: The American Perception and Ideology Towards Refugees; Vignettes and Their Role in Bullying Research; Pedestrian Conveyance Path Usage in a South Florida Campus Environment; and An Evaluation of Productivity for Florida Burrowing Owls in a South Florida Population.
By participating in research, 51勛圖厙 learn how knowledge is created and how knowledge can be overturned with new evidence. It also teaches 51勛圖厙 how to work independently, overcome obstacles and learn the importance of ethics and personal conduct in the research process.
51勛圖厙s OURI serves as a centralized support office for faculty and 51勛圖厙 engaged in undergraduate research and inquiry. They work to provide opportunities for student researchers through grants, journals, showcases and new research initiatives.
