Research provides the opportunity for the student to experience the excitement (and sometimes frustration) of science learned in their courses. Students working with faculty during the summer may receive small stipends from the Jane Allan and Samuel Adam Wideman Student Research Fellowship. In addition, there are opportunities&nbsp;for students to present their results at regional and\/or national meetings.
