Posse and McNair Scholar Presents at 20th Anniversary of Research in the Rotunda

Every year for the past 20 years, standout undergraduate student researchers share their findings on a wide array of subjects with legislators, community members, and leaders from the state and university. Students from all over the Universities of Wisconsin and every corner of the state come to this event called ‘Research in the Rotunda‘ to showcase their important work.
