From Jess Hoopengardner, Director of Broadening Participation in Science:
"The College of Science Undergraduate Research Mixer is a poster fair that occurs each semester where faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students promote their research to undergraduates looking to get involved in research. This event is hosted by the College of Science Broadening Participation in Science committee. The mixer is an opportunity for undergraduate students to meet faculty from various disciplines and discuss undergraduate research opportunities. The goal of this event is to increase and broaden participation of students engaged in undergraduate research."
