Sharing Student Research - Undergraduate Research Conference
Manchester, NH: Are you interested in learning about energy efficiency, the importance of building social relationships, creativity and aging, if a dirt road effects the movement of the White Footed Mouse, or seeing films and screenplays written and produced by local students? Learn about these topics and much more from students who will share their research at UNH Manchester’s Undergraduate Research Conference (URC).
Since its inception 10 years ago, the UNH Undergraduate Research Conference has emerged as a defining event at the University. The Conference is a weeklong college-wide celebration of the quality and breadth of research, creativity and scholarly work of students attending the UNH Manchester campus. The Manchester events are blended with a university-wide calendar of events on both the Durham and Manchester campuses.
This year the conference will include student films and screen plays, engineering technology senior project presentations, oral and poster presentations and a reception sponsored by Centrix Bank. The presentations are free and open to the public and take place at UNH Manchester, 400 Commercial Street on the third floor. Contact Kim Wall for more information, Kim.Wall@unh.edu or 641-4306.
