REU 2018
Final Research
Presentations
Students participating in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program are required to give a presentation to their fellow students, mentors, and faculty within the program about their experience and the conclusions from their research. The 2018 REU final research presentations are being hosted August 6-7 at Oregon State University's Kearney Hall and O.H. Hindsdale Wave Research Laboratory (HWRL).
Attending Remotely
DesignSafe is providing remote access to view the REU presentations through the Zoom service which handles all of the NHERI facility web conferencing needs. Use of Zoom is free for attendees with need to register an account or login to the service. However, viewers may wish to visit the Zoom test page before the event to make sure their computer is ready to view the presentation. At the appropriate time, users simply need to click one of the following links to launch the Zoom service:
