The Showcase also demonstrates to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the greater Central Florida community that student research builds upon and enriches the UCF undergraduate experience.<\/p>\n<p>The College of Sciences had a wonderful showing in SURE, with 18 students receiving awards:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life Sciences I:<\/strong><br \/>\nHonorable Mention: Lauren Lanoux<br
