Over the weekend, IU undergraduate students traveled with the Institute for Korean Studies to Washington D.C. to present in the 5th annual GW-IU Undergraduate Research Exchange Program conference.
Each year, a number of undergraduate students at both Indiana University and George Washington University are selected to work one-on-one with a faculty mentor to produce a 15-20 page research paper and a presentation. Throughout the academic year, students meet periodically with their peers and other faculty mentors to share their progress, receive feedback, and practice their presentation skills. At the end of the academic year, IU IKS and GW IKS take turns hosting a the undergraduate research conference where students from both schools meet to present their projects.
