The event, which is open to the public, will be held from 9: 00 a. m. to 2: 30 p. m. in the Classroom Building ( Rooms 204 and 206). Undergraduate students from South Dakota's universities will give oral and poster presentations on their latest research in the fields of Engineering, Science and Social Sciences. Cash awards will be given to the top presenters in each category and to the best overall presenter. Featured speaker will be Professor James O'Brien of Southwest Missouri State University, who will speak from 1: 30 - 2: 15 p. m. in Room 204E of the Classroom Building.
