Published Monday, April 17, 2023
SMSU Celebrate Science Week will be held April 17-21, 2023. The featured events include student poster presentations and oral presentations throughout the week.
Celebrate Science Week was started to highlight the work done by SMSU’s undergraduate science students during the spring semester, as well as to celebrate the excitement and diversity of science. Over the years it has grown to include students from Math, Computer Science, and Agronomy. This weeklong series of events includes poster presentations and talks by SMSU undergraduates, highlighting their research.
The public, including the university and Marshall community, friends, parents, alumni, prospective students, and employers are all encouraged to attend.
