Three-Day Celebration of Research will showcase seniors’ Academic Research Projects

University Liggett School seniors will present ambitious, independent research projects during the Celebration of Research, open to the public from May 28 - 30.

The Academic Research Program is the cornerstone of a University Liggett School education and the culmination of nearly two years of research on a chosen topic. The three-day event will be from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, in the Boll Campus Center, Wednesday, May 29, in the Manoogian Arts Wing, and Thursday, May 30, in the auditorium and main lobby. 

Students will showcase artwork, science experiments, films and creative writing, and give presentations about economics, sports, mental health and history. 

For their Academic Research projects, students develop a research question, which can be in any field, then design and carry out a research plan over the course of three semesters, culminating in a major research paper and presentation of their findings.

The project expands beyond the boundaries of the school. Students work with mentors at metro Detroit universities, health systems and corporations, while others work with out-of-state mentors and experts around the world.
