One of the unique experiences available to undergraduate students at The University of Arizona is the opportunity to engage in original research. UA undergrads work alongside research professors, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, often in paid positions, and often are included as authors on papers published in academic journals. Nearly 30 students presented their work at the 22nd annual Undergraduate Research Forum, held on February 25, 2009.
