Twenty-two undergraduates who are majors in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences presented oral and visual presentations as part of George Mason University’s Undergraduate Research Scholars Program last week.
The program, which is part of the Students as Scholars initiative housed within George Mason University’s Office of Student Scholarship, Creative Activities, and Research (OSCAR), allows students to work with a mentor to conduct and present research for which they may obtain financial support and/or academic credit.
