Upcoming Events

• The annual RMU Undergraduate Research Conference will take place virtually today, Friday, April 23 from noon to 4:30 p.m. You can find more information about the conference, including the program, on the conference webpage. Students from all schools and years will present their research at the conference! This year, we will be using a virtual conference platform, Gather, and Google Meet to facilitate the conference. Since attendees may be unfamiliar with Gather, Monica VanDieren has created a short video demonstrating how to access and utilize the conference space. We are excited to use this innovative platform and we hope you have an enjoyable experience listening to presentations, learning about the excellent research being conducted by RMU undergraduates, and interacting with other members of the RMU community!
