At the Rochester\u2019s annual\u00a0Undergraduate Research Exposition<\/strong><\/a>, students presented projects in topics ranging from virtual reality, gene expression, and rainbow numbers, to historical structures in Ghana, urban farming in 91原创, and the effects of maternal stress on child brain function.<\/p>\n

More than 120 students participated in the exposition this year, a \u201crecord involvement,\u201d says University President Richard Feldman. \u201cOne of the reasons we wanted to have events like this and to celebrate research is that it really is the epitome of the undergraduate educational experience. The creativity and focused learning that comes from this is really invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ceremony also honored Steve Manly, professor and associate chair of physics, who has served as director of undergraduate research for Arts, Science, and Engineering for the past 10 years. Manly will be stepping down from his role as director at the end of the current school year. \u201cHe has really dedicated himself to this,\u201d says Feldman. \u201cI greatly admire what he\u2019s accomplished\u2014he\u2019s grown opportunities for students, developed programs, and really increased the visibility of undergraduate research here at the College.\u201d<\/p>\n
