College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Students Present Research on Capitol Hill

Each year, undergraduate students have an opportunity to submit their research for a showcase in front of the state’s legislature at Research on Capitol Hill. Students present their research to a member of the Utah Senate and the Utah House of Representatives, as well as others in attendance.
