Undergraduate research can open many doors for students as
they prepare to continue in higher education, pursue a career or learn more
about the field that interests them. To help students build additional research
skills, Wyoming EPSCoR hosted their annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.
The 2014 Symposium was held on July 21st at the University of Wyoming.

The goal of the Symposium was to give undergraduate students
at the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges the information and
tools they need to succeed and excel in undergraduate research, including
planning, designing, implementing and presenting their projects.
“It was an informative and inspiring gathering and sharing
of faculty and students,” says Beth Cable, Coordinator of Education, Outreach
and Diversity for Wyoming EPSCoR. “I appreciate the time that both took out of
their busy summer schedules to participate in the event. Hopefully, the
students gained further understanding of the impacts that doing research can
have on their academic and professional careers and the professors saw some of
the impressive research that University of Wyoming undergraduates are doing.”
