Forty UCCS graduate students from the College of Engineering and Applied Science; the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences; and the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences presented their results on a variety of topics in the 2018 Graduate Student Research Showcase May 4 at the Gallogly Events Center.
