Liberty University is sending 14 Honors Program students to the Big South Undergraduate Research Symposium (BigSURS) today at Campbell University to present their research in a competitive symposium. Once this symposium is concluded on Saturday evening, I'll report on how well Liberty's students competed academically with the other Big South schools.

Fantastic! I love that we are thinking big picture with our undergrad students and giving them an outlet.

BigSURS is a horrible name. I think BigSARS every time I read it.
