UK arts & sciences students display work at undergrad research showcase

More than 500 University of Kentucky (UK) undergraduates participated in the 17th annual Showcase of Undergraduate Scholars, including Corbin residents Kayli Bolton and Cierra Ledford. The showcase empowers undergraduates to share their research discoveries, ideas and creative works with the campus community and the public.

This year’s Showcase of Undergraduate Scholars was April 26 in the Gatton Student Center Grand Ballroom.

Each spring, the Showcase of Undergraduate Scholars brings together undergraduates from all disciplines, their faculty mentors and members of the community.

At UK, undergraduate research is central to creating a well-rounded student experience. Research and applied professional experiences further achievements and outcomes for both students and faculty and strengthen the university as a whole.

Bolton’s work is titled “The Effect of Doxapram on Proprioceptive Neurons: Invertebrate Model.”

Ledford’s work is titled “Crossing Political Divides: Learning from Corbin, Kentucky Residents.”
