The A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity at Hope College is an annual opportunity for student-faculty collaboration. Students complete research projects under the guidance of a faculty member, which is then presented at the Celebration. For more information, please visit Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity website.
Note: Posters are only available for download when they have been approved by faculty mentors and provided by students. If a poster is not present in the repository it will not be available.
