Undergraduate summer researchers from SPUR eight-week programs presented their posters at the August 15, 2019 poster session in the NRB lobby.
The poster session is the culminating experience for our eight-week student researchers in SPUR programs. Select photos can be viewed below and a photo gallery of additional photos can be viewed here.
The students were from various SPUR programs including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Scholars; CARE Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CARE SEM SPUR) Scholars; Santa Monica College (SMC) Summer Research Scholars; Translational Applications of Nanoscale Multiferroic Systems (TANMS) Scholars; and UC LEADS Scholars.
The poster session for SPUR students in the 10-week program took place on August 28, 2019. Learn more about our undergraduate researchers here.
