“I am continually impressed by the quality of research and creative projects proposed by undergraduate students at KU,” said Alison Olcott, director of the Center for Undergraduate Research and associate professor of geology. “These students have worked closely with their mentors to devise projects that stand to make important contributions to their areas of study.”
