During the Conference, students will meet with members of the Ohio Congressional Delegation and members of the Ohio General Assembly. In these meetings, students will advocate for higher education and Miami University by sharing their own Miami experiences with members and staff. Students will present to members and staff undergraduate research and experiential learning opportunities that they have engaged in at two poster sessions, one on Capitol Hill and the other at the Ohio Statehouse. Students will also hear from state and federal policymakers on leadership, citizenship, and advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at a few of our participants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elizabeth Brueggemann<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst-year,\u00a0brueggej@miamioh.edu<br \/>\n<strong>Majors<\/strong>: Professional Writing and Creative Writing<br \/>\n<strong>Hometown<\/strong>: Saint Louis, MO<br \/>\n<strong>Campus Involvement<\/strong>:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-243 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/grn\/files\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-07-at-8.34.32-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"181\" height=\"243\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First Year Research Experience Member<\/li>\n<li>LEAN Fair Presenter<\/li>\n<li>Clothesline Project Volunteer<\/li>\n<li>Published in Inklings<\/li>\n<li>President\u2019s List<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why Miami<\/strong>: I chose to attend Miami University because of the quality research opportunities offered to undergraduates.
