Photos: Undergraduate Exhibition celebrates student research, creativity

Students from across the University participated in this week's annual showcase

Poster sessions at the annual Undergraduate Exhibition, held April 10 in the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus, attracted a record 170 entries. Poster sessions, open to students at all Penn State campuses, included entries by undergraduate students presenting their research in the arts and humanities, engineering, health and life sciences, physical sciences, and social and behavioral sciences, or as course-based projects in any discipline.

Biotechnology student Shahril Naim Aminuddin, shared his research teams findings in the measurment of global methylation levels in maize at the 2013 Undergraduate Exhibition held April 10 at the HUB-Robeson Center. The study could lead to an increase in genetic diversity which can be utilized for crop improvement purposes. Credit: Patrick Mansell / Penn State. Creative Commons
