Concordia’s Faculty of Arts and Science Hosts 6th Annual Undergraduate Research Day

Undergraduate students from the humanities, social sciences and sciences gathered in the LB Building on Friday, March 30th to present their research and showcase their research-creation projects at a daylong event hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Science.

Since its inception in 2006, close to 500 students have participated in Undergraduate Research Day. Each year the judges are asked to evaluate projects based on presentation, relevance and methodology. This year, members of the organizing committee decided to add a new category to the mix - the Students’ Choice Awards. Students were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite presentations or posters.

“We wanted to include more students in the event this year,” says Catherine Bolton, Associate Dean of Student Academic Services for the Faculty of Arts and Science. “And, what better way to do that than to allow them a chance to vote for their favorite presentation.”
