(Formerly known as “Speed Researching”)
Are you new to undergraduate research and wondering where to start?
Join us for a lunchtime series to learn about the 5 strategic research areas at NC State. Panelists will discuss how the interconnectedness of research helps us Think and Do and ways you can join in the research process!
This event will take place each October. This year’s event is planned for Oct 18-22 in the Talley Student Union ballroom. This lunchtime series will take place from 12:30-1:30pm, bring your lunch and join us!
