A panel of UTSA faculty recognized undergraduate Monica Martinez as 1 of 31 Winners in the 2017 Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry Showcase, an event sponsored by the Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR). Martinez worked with Assistant Professor Ian Caine to complete a project titled “Municipal Annexation as a Mechanism for Suburban Expansion in San Antonio, Texas 1939-2014.” OUR Director Dr. Thomas Coyle reflected on the event, saying “[t]he Showcase featured outstanding examples of undergraduate research from all disciplines: Science, Social Science, Humanities, Business, and the Arts – you name it. The large faculty presence signaled strong support for undergraduate research.” Congrats to Monica and thank you to the OUR office for their ongoing support for undergraduate research!
