YSU students showcase research at 26th Quest Forum today

YOUNGSTOWN

Hundreds of Youngstown State University students showcased their research in everything from medicine and forensic science to engineering and criminal justice at the QUEST Forum for Student Scholarship.

This marks the 26th year for the event when undergraduate and graduate students present their research and answer faculty questions. Winners earn scholarships and prizes.

Jeffrey Coldren, YSU’s director of undergraduate research and a psychology professor, said QUEST operates like an academic conference, allowing students to present and answer questions about their research.

“I really like it because it gives the opportunity to show what we really do at this university,” he said.

Students are working and engaged with guidance from faculty, Coldren said.

Students presented their work throughout the day Tuesday in the seminar rooms of Kilcawley Center.
