Dear Colleagues,

http://research.utsa.edu/UGresearch/showcase.php
This annual event will showcase hundreds of undergraduate student research and creative
endeavors from across campus. The event is meant to increase visibility of and
participation in undergraduate scholarly endeavors across all areas of academic inquiry.
Such scholarly experiences enhance learning by complimenting classroom-based instruction,
provide real-life, hands-on experience in student's field of interest, and offer
development of critical and independent thinking, creativity, and problem solving.
We encourage College of Education and Human Development Participation.
Undergraduates may work with Graduate Students and Faculty on a Research Project!
