LBC Research Showcase

Save the Date: 2025: Our 18th Annual LBC Research Event!

Each spring LBC hosts a student research showcase. This year will feature several changes including an earlier time in the semester!

This is a great opportunity and welcoming environment for you to: 

• Share your work from your research lab, honors option or class project with fellow students
• Learn about the other research of Briggsies, whether within LBC or elsewhere on campus

• Potentially win a cash award
