CURO ignites passion for research with student symposium
University of Georgia undergraduate students came together to showcase their individual research projects and achievements on April 8-9 at the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) Symposium.
Cecilia Rhine, a third-year exercise and sport science student in the Mary Frances Early College of Education, participated in this year’s CURO Symposium. Her project studied the effects of daily step counting on the strain of tibial cartilage. After seeing her friend participate in CURO during her freshman year, Rhine wanted to do the same before she graduated.
“This journey not only provided me with valuable research experience, but also fostered meaningful connections with scholars in the same field as me and supported my academic pursuits,” she said. “I know that research is an important part of kinesiology and science, which is why I wanted to be a part of it during my undergraduate studies.”
