UWP to be well represented during research day at state capitol
UWP biology student, Amanda Lederer, will deliver a keynote address about her stream restoration research during Posters in the Rotunda.
PLATTEVILLE - Sixteen students from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville will present undergraduate research posters at Posters in the Rotunda on Thursday, April 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first balcony of the Wisconsin state capitol rotunda.
The event is designed to showcase undergraduate research taking place within the University of Wisconsin System for state officials. Participating UWP students will personally invite legislators who represent their hometown and the UWP campus to view their research posters.
Along with legislators, the governor, the UW System Board of Regents and university administrators will be in attendance. Over 100 students will represent the UW school they attend at the research poster day.

Lederer's address about the impacts of stream restoration will accompany addresses given by the governor or his representative, the UW vice president for academic affairs, the president of the UW System and the president of the UW System Board of Regents.
