Student Research

Undergraduate scholarship allows students to participate in active learning to pursue intellectual interests under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Benefits to the undergraduate student engaged in such a project include stimulation of creative thinking, a better understanding of their discipline, development of research skills, enhancement of communication skills, an opportunity to participate in new discoveries, and preparation for graduate school. Students who participate in scholarly activities gain confidence and are able to function more independently through taking responsibility for a portion of their own learning process.

NSU Undergraduate Research Day

Each Spring NSU provides a way for students to display their current research at the NSU Undergraduate Research Day. The Sixth Annual Undergraduate Research Day: A Celebration of Scholarly and Creative Activity, will be held in the University Center Ballroom from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 22, 2008.

Festivities are highlighted by an awards ceremony to honor outstanding student projects. All students who would like to be considered for participation in Undergraduate Research Day must complete an application form. A panel of judges representing the four undergraduate colleges will screen applications.
