The Bioethics Research Showcase is a juried competition and exhibition of undergraduate student work on ethical themes in health, the environment, and emerging technologies. Work is welcome in any topic of bioethics. Submission categories range from journalism to performance art to philosophical essays. Students may revise and submit work they developed for a class, contribute part of an honors thesis or capstone project, or submit an art work or piece of writing they created on their own. Multiply-authored works are acceptable and students may submit more than one item for consideration even within the same category.

MSB Undergraduate Research Symposium
October Annually – MSB Students
MSB undergraduate research fellows (Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program) present their research findings at the Symposium each October. Fellows connect with faculty members to investigate topics that are related to business but may also be interdisciplinary in nature. By working one-on-one with a faculty advisor, students learn how to use the research process to inform a real problem.
