Over 10 undergraduate students researching under Professors Hyosub Kim, Romeo Chua, Liv Yoon, and Desmond McEwan presented at the 2025 Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference. The annual conference aims to provide an opportunity for UBC undergraduate students to present their research with fellow UBC students, family, and friends, with this year’s focus on how breaking the mold in research can drive impactful change, both in academia and society.
Notably, Kyra McKinnon, a third year student, received third place overall for her poster presentation on her research focusing on teamwork, social identity, and athlete thriving. When asked about her experience at the conference, she said: “The conference created an amazing environment to connect with other students and faculty across a wide range of disciplines. I had the chance to engage in thoughtful conversations about my own research, while also learning about the diverse and innovative projects happening across UBC. It pushed me to think more critically about how I communicate complex ideas in accessible ways, and helped me grow more confident in sharing my work outside of a classroom setting.”
Congratulations to all everyone on a successful presentation!
