Florida Undergraduate Research Association2020-10-262020-10-262020-10-23http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11868/1113Welcome to the Florida Undergradute Research Association’s 2020 Florida Statewide Symposium on Undergraduate Research. As educators, we strive to create opportunities for our students to develop their intellect, creativity, professionalism, and personal skills through mentored research. This passion to engage students in research is something that we all share. As a community, we come together every fall to learn for one another and strive to bring the best ideas back to our campuses to serve our students better. I am excited to welcome you here, to join in wonderful conversations with other faculty, students, staff, and administrators from across the state. Even though we cannot meet in person this year, I hope that we can capture some of the magic from years past through this virtual symposium. Together, we are contributing to the success of the undergraduate research community within the state of Florida. Thank you for joining us today, we hope you have some great conversations and find some great ideas to take back to your campus!
