WHAT: Undergraduate students from each of the four University of Missouri System campuses will travel to Jefferson City to participate in the UM System’s Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol.

Students will highlight a broad spectrum of research conducted at the university including research in the areas of education, health, agriculture, biotechnology, transportation and infrastructure, social services, and economic development.
In total, 54 students will exhibit their research projects to Missouri legislators: 24 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, 19 from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, nine from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and two from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
