This Friday morning, students and faculty boarded a bus early in the morning to take them to the 2018 Indiana LSAMP Annual Research Conference. The one-day event was held in Indianapolis at the Ivy Tech Community College Culinary and Conference Center. While chemistry professor Grace Muna participated in a panel discussion on serving as a faculty mentor for the LSAMP program and biology professor Andy Schnabel served as a faculty facilitator, the real stars were the summer research students who showcased the work they had completed as LSAMP scholars. Presenting research at a conference to faculty and peers is a valuable experience and is a great way to celebrate and formally conclude one's research project. Congratulations to all the students who attended.
