On Friday, April 24, 2026, students across all disciplines and majors shared their research and creative activities with the campus community, including several kinesiology students.
The Undergraduate Research Showcase (URS) celebrates research and forum for Boise State undergraduate students, providing them with a low-stakes opportunity to present their work with a poster and receive constructive and helpful feedback.
Additionally, there was a kinesiology student that presented in the Lightning Talks portion of the showcase. This is a 3-minute, 1-slide presentation of the student’s research or creative activity, modeled on the Three Minute Thesis format. These Lightning Talks challenge students to communicate their work to a general audience within the said parameters.
Join us in celebrating and recognizing the innovative work in research and creativity exemplified by these kinesiology students!
