Purpose of USP Scholarly Day

The purpose of USP Scholarly Day is to encourage and promote communication and collaboration between investigators at USP.

This day has been set aside to recognize undergraduate and graduate student research efforts, highlight aspects of faculty scholarly activities, and showcase the diversity and growth of research pursuits on campus.

Because of USP's size and the fact that the University is a science-based institution, most undergraduate students can conduct research with faculty early in their academic careers.
