Thirteen ISA students are presenting their research at the Spring Undergraduate Research Festival (SURF) on Wednesday, April 22nd! Students will showcase their work to a variety of judges from the University of Iowa (peers, faculty, and graduate students) and the surrounding community, who will discuss student work and provide valuable feedback.
