The College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) hosted the Tenth Annual CFAES Undergraduate Research Forum on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Thirty-two undergraduate student researchers from CFAES and the School of Environment and Natural Resources shared their research in a poster presentation format with faculty, staff, fellow students, and invited mentors, family members and guests. A complete listing of student projects and faculty judges can be found at: http://cfaes.osu.edu/students/academics/undergraduate/research/cfaes-undergraduate-research-forum/2013
