SCS: Computer Science Undergraduate Research Poster Session and Faculty Presentation

— 2:00pm

Location:
Rashid Auditorium 4401 and Outside Commons Area - Gates Hillman Centers

Join in to see the great work that our CS undergraduates are doing for research and applied projects.

Faculty are encouraged to attend to meet our undergraduate students and to learn about their work , while meeting students looking for research opportunities for the Spring. Undergraduates are encouraged to attend to learn about what research is all about from their peers. Everyone is welcome to attend. Refreshments will be provided.
