Student Research Day 2003

Each year on the first Friday in November, MUSC has held its annual Student
Research Day (SRD) which showcases research conducted on campus. The SRD
mission is primarily to provide students at all levels of study with a forum to
make oral and poster presentations in an environment similar to that of a
regional or national meeting. Each presentation is judged and, in each section,
a first place prize of $500 and a second place prize of $200 is awarded.
