Frontiers 2010

2010-04-Frontiers-poster.jpgOn Friday, April 16, nearly 140 UConn undergraduate students showed off their hard work and research at Frontiers in Undergraduate Research 2010, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research, with support from the Honors Program. This annual event is the poster exhibition of student research, scholarship, and creative projects, and was a chance for students to highlight their work to the entire UConn community.

Some of this research was made possible through the generosity of UConn's donors. The UConn Foundation interviewed eight students during Frontiers and asked them about their research, their findings and how private giving has helped them follow their dreams.

We hope you enjoy the videos of some of UConn's brightest students, and perhaps you can join us in person for Frontiers 2011! Just click on the image of the student to see their interview in its entirety.
