On Saturday ten of our students attended the annual LSAMP Conference for STEM research conducted by minority students. This year the conference was organized by Ball State University - and although it was virtual because of the pandemic, it was still a great success. Students particularly enjoyed the captivating story of NASA researcher and astronaut Leland Melvin.
Three of our summer LSAMP scholars presented virtual posters.

In addition, E-Lexus Thornton (pictured fourth), a former IU South Bend LSAMP scholar and physics major, was one of the panelists in the Indiana LSAMP Alumni Panel. Thornton was recently accepted by the NSF LSAMP Bridge Program to begin a doctorate program in mechanical engineering at the University of Kentucky this fall. Congratulations, E-Lexus! You can find more information about E-Lexus and our presenters here at the conference website.
