Undergraduate Research Fair to be held Tuesday, Oct. 3
At the Undergraduate Research Fair, happening Tuesday, Oct. 3, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center Grand River Room, Grand Valley State University students will be able to speak with GVSU faculty and staff about doing a research project.
The fair, which is being sponsored by the GVSU Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (OURS), will have food provided for those who choose to attend. Research may offer GVSU students not only the chance to expand their academic horizons but also the opportunity to add to their resumes. For students applying to graduate schools, it may also give them scholarly writing samples to pull from.
