Undergraduate Research Day is on Friday, April 14

UT Permian Basin’s Undergraduate Research Day is almost here! This year the event will be held all day on Friday, April 14 in the Library lobby and Library Lecture Hall.

Several UTPB students will come together to present their research projects to their peers, faculty, and community members. This year projects include everything from 3D printing, to ALS disease models, and even doll making.

“I encourage all students to get involved with research if they are serious about their education. Students can learn from reading about research in a textbook, hearing professors talk about it, or they can actually do it! If a student feels like they are somehow not qualified to do research I want to empower and encourage them that they are qualified and their research topic can be anything from popular culture to traditional academic subjects,” said Dr. Rebecca Babcock, Director of Undergraduate Research at UTPB.

Students interested in getting involved with undergraduate research can email Dr. Babcock and follow UTPB Undergraduate Research on social media.
