As the inaugural director of the A-State Student Research Office, I would like to welcome you to the 12th annual Create@State: A Symposium of Research, Scholarship and Creativity. After two years of virtual events, we are so excited to welcome you back to campus and host Create@State in person once again!

This venue showcases the work of graduate and undergraduate students from a variety of academic programs. We greatly appreciate the efforts our faculty take to mentor these students and the effort the students contribute to these projects. We also appreciate the support we receive from faculty and staff at A-State and various business partners and alumni who work hard to make Create@State happen. This year is going to be exciting! Please join us and help make Create@State’s return to in-person a success by showing up to support students at the various symposia and poster sessions this week!

Best regards, Kari Harris Director of Student Research
