Here is what students shared about their experience at the 2014 MAUSRC:

"It was a great opportunity to see what other students are researching and to exchange ideas.  It also gave me the chance to get over my fear of presenting at a conference.”

“It was fun and a great learning experience for me.”

Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other young scholars from across the region!   You are welcome to check out highlights from previous conferences, including the 2014 MAUSRC and 2013 MAUSRC.

We look forward to seeing you on April 24 at Villanova University.
