Nothing more effectively demonstrates the value of undergraduate research than the words and stories of the student participants themselves. In the Spring of 2009 the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) hosted its 13th annual undergraduate poster session on Capitol Hill. This event helped members of Congress understand the importance of undergraduate research by talking directly with the students whom these programs impact.

For the third year in a row, MTSU was represented at the national research exhibition in 2009. Senior Psychology major Amy Petty traveled to Washington, DC to meet with Representative Bart Gordon and present her research on prescription drug misuse to our nation’s legislators.
Amy also presented her findings at the state competition in Nashville.
