Vivian Cook chosen present at national undergraduate research conference

2018 Mar 29

Vivian Cook, Ames, was chosen to present research at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.

NCUR, held April 4-7 at the University of Central Oklahoma, brings together about 4,000 students from across the nation to present their scholarship and creative research in their disciplines.

This year, 51 ISU students from 26 different majors were selected to present their research at the conference - nearly quadrupling the number chosen last year.

Students attending will also be able to participate in one of the largest graduate school fairs in the nation, in addition to networking and professional development workshops.

Svitlana Zbarska, coordinator of Iowa State's undergraduate research program, worked with ISU students who are participating in NCUR. Last year 13 students represented ISU at the University of Memphis.

"It is a great opportunity for students to meet other undergraduate researchers, master their presentation skills and learn more about graduate schools," Zbarska said. "This year ISU will have strong representatives at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research."
