Keystone College students had the opportunity to present their best academic work during the 2017 Spring Undergraduate Research and Creativity Celebration held on April 26, 2017 in the Theatre In Brooks.
The forum featured more than 160 exhibits highlighting year-long faculty-mentored research, creative works, and senior capstone projects. The academic work, representing Keystone’s School of Arts and Sciences and School of Professional Studies, included research in science, technology, art, business, communications, and education.
