MADISON, Wis.—Students across the University of Wisconsin System showcased their innovative undergraduate research today at the UW System’s 16th annual Research in the Rotunda event in the State Capitol. The nearly 130 students at the event have spent much of the current school year conducting research on important local, regional, national, and global issues. At the event, students presented their work to the public, state legislators, UW alumni, and other supporters.

“The experience gained by participating in undergraduate research will be invaluable for these students as they pursue their future careers and endeavors,” said UW System President Ray Cross. “These innovative and exciting projects allow students to build critical life skills while also contributing to the advancement of society.”

Student research has the potential to inform public policy while leading to greater graduation rates and preparing students for employment.
