Nine Education undergrads honored at Fall Undergraduate Research Expo

Nine College of Education undergraduates were among the 100 students to be awarded honors at the Fall Undergraduate Research Expo.

The Expo was a hybrid program this year, allowing students to present posters in-person on November 14 and present their research speeches on November 16. The poster presentation was held in the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms, and the research talks were held in STEW 214.

Six College of Education graduate students and assistant professors assisted as judges for the projects. The volunteer judges provided feedback to students throughout the conference. The winning projects were chosen based on the quality of order, organization, and documentation.

Congrats to our Expo winners!
