The Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievements Forum provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to present their research and creative scholarly projects. Students from all majors and every academic level are invited to present their multi-semester projects, senior honors/capstone projects, or other faculty-mentored scholarly activities. In addition to Mizzou students, we are pleased to showcase the work of 45 visiting undergraduates who have been supported during the summer by NSF, NIH, USDA, and university funds. Thanks to the support of the MU Libraries, we can present our fifth virtual Forum since the pandemic began. To assist you with navigating this online showcase:
• 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.
• Each presenter is listed individually, even if they are a member of a research team.
In addition to project abstracts, several students have also provided research posters, PowerPoint presentations, or short videos.
• For each project item, there is an asynchronous commenting feature (Disqus) that allows viewers to leave questions and comments between July 29th and August 2nd. We ask all viewers to keep in mind MU's Statement of Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence. You may use this link to reference our Forum Community Commenting Guidelines. Students are encouraged to check-in regularly over the 7 days and respond to audience questions.
• Please note that some abstracts have been withheld upon request of the faculty mentor for proprietary reasons.
We welcome and thank the students for their effort and contributions!
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!
