Plymouth State University to Host Annual Showcase of Student Research and Engagement
Plymouth State University (PSU) students from various disciplines, including the arts, humanities and sciences, will present projects from a variety of topics including mental health, biology, history and more during the 2025 Showcase of Student Research and Engagement. The event will take place on Friday, May 2, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Courtroom at HUB, with satellite events located at Silver Center and Museum of the White Mountains.
While at PSU, students take part in real-world projects, collaborating with peers and faculty from other disciplines, as well as outside businesses and organizations, community leaders and others. Students showcase their projects to the campus community and public annually each spring. Plymouth State University’s Cluster Learning Model allows students to bridge their academic and extra-curricular interests with global challenges. The interdisciplinary model strengthens students’ personal growth and integrates them into the community from the start of their time at PSU to beyond graduation.
The campus community and the public are invited to explore the projects and to discuss the processes, research and scholarly achievements with student presenters.
Past showcases have highlighted a variety of Cluster projects, including the effects of mood on self-perception, research on the neurobiology of the American Horseshoe Crab and the application of catastrophe theory to understand bank failure, among others. Admission is free. More information about the showcase here.
