Hosted by: Kyle George (student coordinator) & Dr. Joseph Covi (faculty coordinator; joseph.covi@uwsp.edu) Physiology is the study of function in biology. Careers in physiology and medicine are expanding rapidly while many
other lines of work are facing job cuts in the United States. The Physiology Fair is an interactive program that will help
you pursue a career in biology or medicine by providing an experience that college admissions and scholarship
committees look for. It will also give you a chance to work directly with college students at UWSP.

evaluated by a friendly
panel of UWSP students
and faculty. All students
will be recognized for
their hard work as Physiology Fair participants.
What is the Physiology Fair?
You will develop a project alone or as part of a team. The choice
is yours to make. Undergraduate Student Sponsors from UWSP
will be available to help you along the way. Each team
(or individual), however, will take responsibility for their project.
Project formats may include:
1. Presenting data from a research experiment.
2. Holding an experiential learning booth.
3. Reading literature on a topic in physiology or
medicine and presenting what you learn.
See Project Specifications for details and links to helpful material
on our web site.
Student Support: Limited involvement is required from
teachers and parents. Undergraduate Student Sponsors from
UWSP volunteer their time to help you design and complete your
project. Contact information for UWSP Sponsors will be provided
upon official entry into the program. (see on-line entry form)
Each student will receive a
certificate of completion
for their accomplishments.
The top projects will
receive special recognition
and awards.
Volunteers will also be
recognized for their contribution. Any teachers or
parents who are interested
in volunteering to assist
with the program should
contact Dr. Joseph Covi in
the UWSP Biology dept..
