Research Day

Showcasing student and faculty research, creativity, and innovation and its impact on business, industry and the community

It is just one in a series of spectacular end-of-year events forming the Stout Showcase, events that celebrate and share the results of career-focused applied learning and collaboration from the past academic year.
