Held twice per year, The Forum provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to present their research and creative scholarly projects that may be multi-semester projects, senior honors/capstone projects, or other faculty-mentored scholarly activities. Students from all majors and from all undergraduate academic levels are invited to participate. Projects are organized by broad disciplinary topics. The Forum is searchable by student name, faculty name, abstract title, and funding source by using the MU Digital Library search box.
Please note that some abstracts have been withheld upon request of the faculty mentor for proprietary reasons.
Typically the Forum is organized as a poster and project display event on one day. Due to the spring 2020 pandemic, students, faculty and friends are dispersed throughout Missouri, the country, and even the world. We are pleased to provide our first digital and virtual Forum to showcase and celebrate student work. In addition to project abstracts, a number of students have also been able to provide research posters, PowerPoint presentations, or self-made videos. We welcome and thank the students for their effort and contributions.
Thanks to the support of the MU Libraries staff, we are able to offer a comment feature to the digital Forum and encourage you to leave questions and comments May 1-5, 2020 keeping in mind MU's Statement of Values Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence.
You may use this link to reference our Forum Community Commenting Guidelines.
We also encourage the students to check-in periodically over the 5 days and respond to questions.
We invite you to visit the Office of Undergraduate Research website for more information. Questions can be directed to ugr@missouri.edu. Our thanks to the students and mentors for sharing their work. Enjoy and be well!
