Student Showcase expo to hit the Mall Homecoming Weekend

Homecoming weekend is not just about football games and parades ÷ it's also about research. Student Showcase, a graduate student-run research exposition, will be held on the Mall on Nov. 7 ÷ 8. This is an opportunity for all students, both undergraduate and graduate, to present their current research projects to the UA community. Student Showcase represents the only student-run research exhibition of its magnitude in the United States, and brings national acclaim to the UA and its programs. All students with current research are encouraged to present. The deadline for submissions is Friday. For more information, call 626-7526.
