Lakehead University will be participating in the 23rd National Conference in Undergraduate Research from April 16-18.  Hosted by the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse, this conference regularly hosts 2,000 students and their faculty mentors to present their research through posters, oral presentations, visual arts, and performances.
