Last
week I attended Furman
Engaged which according to the website,
“celebrates the wide variety of undergraduate
research, scholarship and creativity of our undergraduates. Launched by the
Office of Undergraduate Research and Internships in 2009, this annual event
brings our campus community and visitors together for a day of presentations,
posters and performances across Furman's campus. Our students present topics
from a range of disciplines, from research in the sciences and humanities to
creative works in the fine arts.”
