    We invite the UConn community to join us for the 2020 Fall Frontiers Undergraduate Research Online Exhibition. The Online Exhibition is live at https://ugradresearch.uconn.edu/fallfrontiers2020/, with the event program providing access to student project presentations shared on the Portfolium platform. To complement the online exhibition, Fall Frontiers 2020 also includes two live student presentations, the final one today at 5pm.
