Graduate researchers to participate in Capitol Reseach Summit Graduate researchers to participate in Capitol Reseach Summit

Graduate researchers from Wichita State will participate in the 10th Annual Capitol Graduate Research Summit from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, on the second floor of the rotunda in the Capitol Building in Topeka. The summit is an annual event organized through collaborative efforts between four state universities -- the University of Kansas, Wichita State University, Kansas State University, and the University of Kansas Medical Center.

The main purpose of the summit is to provide an opportunity for selected graduate students to expose the state government and education officials, as well as the general public, to the quality of graduate research performed in the state of Kansas.

The students selected for this event are involved in research, including physical and natural sciences, engineering, sociology, history and education; which provides a direct impact on the State of Kansas.

As the Kansas Legislature extends support for basic research funding to these schools, the summit provides the researchers, in turn, an opportunity to present to the results of their investment.
