Denman Research Forum gets underway today

A record number of Ohio State students will participate in the Richard J. and Martha D. Denman Undergraduate Research Forum from noon to 5 p.m. today (5/14) at the Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Executive Conference Center, 2110 Tuttle Park Place. In its eighth year, the forum will showcase the work of 228 students in all undergraduate research areas.

Participation this year has more than tripled from the 60 undergraduates involved in the first forum. Abstracts submitted this year have increased approximately 62 percent from the 141 presented in 2002. Cash prizes will be awarded in each of the final research categories and published in Ohio State’s “Journal of Undergraduate Research Scholarship.”

The forum is funded through a major gift from long-time university supporters Richard and Martha Denman.
