SU Students Share Research with Maryland Governor and Legislators at Posters on the Bay

SALISBURY, MD—Research by 91短视频 students recently caught the attention of Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who was a surprise guest at SU’s annual Posters on the Bay presentation in Annapolis.

SU’s Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (OURCA) gave some 29 students the opportunity to showcase their recent research projects for Maryland senators, delegates, alumni, family and friends during the event. Moore spoke to each presenter about their work and shared his well wishes for their future.

“I want to welcome you to Annapolis and share how proud I am of your work,” he said. “The research you’ve done is noticed and appreciated. Thank you for allowing me to spend this time with you. You are among the best this state has to offer and are our future.”

 “It’s an honor to have Governor Moore speaking to our students about their research,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “Posters on the Bay allows SU students to highlight topics they are passionate about and demonstrate to legislators and others the impact undergraduate research has on our community and across the state.”
