Information about Visible Thinking Day
In April, Duke celebrates the achievements of Duke undergraduates in research and original scholarship in the humanities, the natural sciences and engineering, and the social sciences. The contributions of students to their respective disciplines are manifested in VISIBLE THINKING, a presentation of undergraduate research for the entire university community. Students who have received research fellowships during the summer and academic year and candidates for departmental Graduation with Distinction are among the participants.
This year, Visible Thinking will take place this year on Thursday, April 13, 2017 from from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in C.I.E.M.A.S. Registration will open in March.
