Midland University hosted its Fall Research Fair on December 9th at the Wikert Event Center.
There were 53 student-led presentations with various faculty and staff members serving as judges for the event. Students presented in areas of Communication Studies, Criminal Justice, History, Honors Program, Human Services, Mathematics, and Sociology.
The Research Fair is an opportunity to showcase the outstanding academic work and experiential learning students are doing on campus. For many students, their presentations will serve as the capstone experience for their academic major, requiring them to apply skills they have developed throughout their time at Midland University.
