海角社区 to host Discover Day highlighting undergraduate research
03/03/15
Twenty-five gifted undergraduate students will present their research at 海角社区 Discover Day on March 19, 2015 in the Cotillion Ballroom in the Student Union. Through this annual conference, 海角社区 creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education at the university.
Discover Day participants share a three to five minute summary of their research and then field questions from conference attendees regarding their research. Among these elite students is kinesiology senior Sarah Odom, who plans to present findings from her current research and work with Dr. Arend Van Gemmert, in his Fine Motor Control and Learning Laboratory. She has carried out various research projects in this capacity. Odom also presented a poster at the Discover research day, titled 鈥淭he effects of mental load and auditory noise on the acquisition and learning of a motor task.鈥� She will graduate in December 2015.
海角社区 Discover is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual student symposium, 海角社区 Discover Day, to provide students an avenue to present their work. 海角社区 Discover Day provides an opportunity to interact with peers and faculty from across campus working in similar research fields, learn about how research and scholarship is conducted in different fields, to prepare for graduate school and employment opportunities, and to develop presentation skills.
