The showcase will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, throughout the conference wing of the Student Union on Wright State’s Dayton Campus.

“This event highlights the remarkable research, scholarship and creative activities of our undergraduate and graduate students across various disciplines,” said Madhavi Kadakia, Ph.D., vice provost for research and innovation. “Through knowledge and discovery, we are providing powerful tools for cultivating the next generation of critical thinkers.”

The annual university-wide showcase provides students an opportunity to exhibit posters and present discoveries, advances and scholarly exploration.
