For the past 24 years, the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics has hosted an annual Student Research Conference on campus to highlight meaningful research by our students. During the two-day conference, undergraduate research is shared through poster displays and oral presentations by student and faculty. This year's event offers an expanded networking and mentoring lunch for our students to meet with Bailey College alumni and other professionals, providing students insights into career pathways.
