“Here at TMU, research at the undergraduate level plays a vital role in shaping future leaders and innovators,” said Dr. Rick Austin, Dean of the College of Health and Life Sciences. “By engaging in hands-on inquiry, students hone critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, preparing them for advanced study and impactful careers, both for Christ and for their vocational calling. The Research Symposium underscores the importance of providing undergraduates with opportunities to push themselves intellectually and spiritually preparing our students to be the world-changers God has called them to be.”
