This shirt could be yours!
What does your research look like?  
Show us! 

We're giving out a free t-shirt to the first 75 undergraduate students that post a photo of themselves doing their research on one of our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.  Post your photo with the tag #ugresearchKU and then stop by our office to pick up your shirt.  The goal of this contest is help out all of the new Jayhawks on campus right now.  Many students have heard about research but are not sure what that means in their field.  So we hope to see photos representing all departments on campus!
