Student Research Conference Set for April 17
Truman will host the 25th Undergraduate and 10th Graduate Student Research Conference (SRC) April 17.
The SRC is a celebration of undergraduate and graduate research, scholarship and creative achievement. To provide an opportunity for all students and faculty members to attend the conference, no classes will meet during the day. Evening classes will meet at their scheduled times.
This year’s conference will feature contributions from more than 400 undergraduate and 34 graduate student authors, mentored by 127 faculty members.
