This group meets every other Thursday for a 'drop-in' block where grads can stop by and work on writing projects, emails, course prep, etc. with other grads to encourage solidarity and build community amongst those with App Studies interests. The group meets in the Appalachian Center Annex and via Zoom. You are welcome to drop in for any part of that time. We will have coffee, tea, and water available. Come write or work with fellow App Studies friends! 

The Undergraduate Research + Creative Experience Expo will introduce undergraduate scholars to the diversity of research conducted at UK, allow students to network with research faculty and staff, and learn about mentored research opportunities.
