Learning Like No Other
Research in the biological sciences gives students a broader appreciation for their field of study. Research is an excellent way to develop problem-solving and creative thinking skills. In the process, students benefit from increased interactions with fellow students and faculty while they gain confidence through hands-on, real-world experiences in the field and in the lab.
AU Students have the opportunity to present their findings on campus and at regional and national meetings. Meetings include the Georgia Academy of Sciences Conference, the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) Meeting, the Southeastern Estuarine Research Society (SEERS) Meeting, and the Southeastern Regional Yeast Meeting (SERYM), among others. In addition, the Augusta University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi hosts an annual, campus-wide research conference where students present their findings in poster format and oral presentations to the Augusta community.
Throughout the year, the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship hosts the Brown Bag Series where Augusta University students from all disciplines present their research.
