Scholars detail research at showcase

Thirty Student Summer Scholars presented their original research July 29 at the S3 Summer Showcase in Kirkhof Center, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship.

The McNair and Student Summer scholars spent 12 weeks working with a faculty mentor on a project. Robert Smart, vice provost for research administration, called the showcase one point in a path toward lifetime scholarship.

“Scholarship in all forms is one of the pillars at the university,” said Smart, who also serves as executive director of the Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence. “To have undergraduates engaging in original research is a pinnacle of education at Grand Valley.”
