The Annual Scholar Showcase provides an opportunity for MSU’s visiting scholars to share their research with the MSU community and network with their peers, faculty, and students. Join us in exploring the research being conducted at MSU by visiting scholars!
The 2021 Scholar Showcase will be held virtually this year during the week of April 12-16. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we will release a video a day from a J-1 scholar sharing their research. The virtual showcase will culminate in a reception where all of our showcase presenters can discuss their research work with each other and with guests from the MSU community! We hope you will join the celebration at the reception on Friday April 16, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. EDT.
Learn more about the scholars who will be sharing their research during the virtual showcase below.
