Twelve NQPI students and student groups took home top awards at Ohio University’s annual Student Research and Creative Activity Expo, which featured a range of projects from about 600 OU students representing disciplines from anthropology to social work to engineering.

  Ohio University students presented research and creative works at the OU Convocation Center.

Research was judged by OU faculty members before the expo opened to the public, but the real rewards came not from prizes, but the chance to share research results with the public said Di Xu, a graduate student in physics. Hundreds of students from local schools browsed research posters and presentations at the expo.

Di Xu did not win a prize this year, but looked forward to sharing his research with expo visitors.
