Travis presents at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Richmond!

Travis spent April 13^th-15^th in Virginia with MTSU’s Student Organization for the Advancement of Research (SOAR) at NCUR 2026, where he presented a poster on his research about undergraduate biology students’ perceptions, learning, and communication of vaccines!

SOAR is an undergraduate student organization at Middle Tennessee State University committed to promoting undergraduate research. As part of this mission, SOAR encourages members to attend the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), an annual meeting of student scholars from all disciplines in higher learning. The program serves as an opportunity for undergraduates to share their research and creative activities and to participate in career-readiness events. The SPS Lab’s own, Travis Ray, was among 19 SOAR members who presented at NCUR in Richmond, Virginia last week. He shared his work investigating how undergraduate biology students think, learn, and communicate about vaccines. We’re proud of you, Travis!
