Every year, Ƶ suspends all campus activities to focus on the creative and research efforts of Ƶ students.
More than 250 Ƶ students will present during the Spring Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) on April 29. The poster presentation sessions will occur in Alumni Gym, with the oral presentation sessions scheduled at a variety of locations across campus.
SURF is a time each year when we suspend our other campus activities to celebrate the academically centered creative endeavors and research efforts of Ƶ students. This year marks the 32nd annual celebration of achievements in undergraduate research at Ƶ. As one of the five Ƶ Experiences, undergraduate research is a highly valued part of the academic experience for Ƶ students.
