Midland University hosted its 2024 Spring Research Fair on May 3rd at the Wikert Event Center.
There were 87 different research projects compiled by students through work done throughout the semester. For many students, these research projects serve as the capstone experience for their academic major, requiring them to apply skills they have developed throughout their time at Midland. For others, their projects involve putting academic knowledge into practice by going out into the community for enhanced experiences and reflection. Students presented their findings to judges during the event, and awards were presented in two different categories.
