Ƶ Ƶ kicked off National Undergraduate Research Week (April 17-21) with one of its biggest annual research events. The Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Science and Creative Endeavors on Monday was presented by the Office of Student Research in the Ƶ Student Center.
At this year’s symposium, 284 student researchers presented 150 posters illustrating their research.
The high level of research activity involving faculty and students on Ƶ Ƶ's campuses has earned the university the prestigious R1 designation from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. R1 status is the highest recognition that doctoral universities can receive, and Ƶ Ƶ is one of only five universities in Ohio to have earned it. At Ƶ Ƶ, students have the opportunity to participate in meaningful research, working side-by-side with university researchers, as early as their first year of classes.
