Boise State routinely provides undergraduates
with the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research with professors in a
wide range of subject areas. Undergraduate research is integral to the
university and its mission and provides students with invaluable experience.
These experiences are uncommon at the undergraduate level at most
universities.
This event will be very colorful and is perfect
for cameras. We’d also appreciate any notices you can put in print or on the
air before Monday, so that the public is aware of this unique opportunity.
