Undergraduate Research Day Extravaganza

Today was the Undergraduate Research Day!

I went to Undergraduate Research Day to support our fellow teammates presenting our project to the public. There were definitely some fascinating projects going on around campus, and I got to learn more about our fellow Gemstone colleagues and their progress. Team Green Justice was close to where we were stationed, so I went to say hi. To briefly explain their project, they are evaluating the impact of changing the trash pickup from twice a week to once a week in Hyattsville. It's an interesting topic and I'm sure they've put in a lot of work into their research. I came across another Gemstone project while wandering around. This research was to improve the effectiveness of the Maryland sex offender registry. I couldn't help but read more about the research because it was such a unique research idea. Last but not least, there was a psychology research about domestic violence. The researched wanted to determine if the domestic violence courses here at the university changed the students' opinons and attitudes.

Even though there lots of cool research today, I couldn't help but feel that our project is still the coolest and the freshest. Maybe I'm a little bit biased though.

If you didn't get a chance to check out today, there's always next year!
