For example, every summer approximately twenty researchers go to Jefferson City to <a href="http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/forums-conferences/capitol/index.php">present their finding to lawmakers</a>. “We work with the students to take their posters, turn those posters into something that very accessible to the public and elected officials,” Blockus explains. “This is our way of reminding the state officials of some of the things we do, and the special ways we are adding value to student experiences here at MU.” 3 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:36:23 GMT
