The annual competition showcases academic or creative work in a formal setting. a mark of true accomplishment in an undergraduate education. Undergraduate research offers students the opportunity to synthesize and apply knowledge while gaining a high level of insight into the process.
Hayati conducted undergraduate research the past two summers supported by a 2015 SURE Science award and a 2014 Cripps Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) award. She is also supported by the George & Marthel Porter Scholarship in the College of Science.
Hayati was the student speaker at the Campaign for OSU Celebration.
