Utah State University undergraduates met last month with Utah legislators to share research projects they’ve completed this year. Our meetings with them illustrated the critical ways these types of educational opportunities matter to our state.
These USU students included moms, an active-duty National Guard member, a husband/wife research team, and distance learners. Some of those students grew up here, and others came from out of state specifically to get undergraduate research opportunities.
