2022 Undergraduate Research Conference

Pictured above are the chemistry and biochemistry students who presented at this spring's Undergraduate Research Conference along with chemistry professor Dr. Grace Muna. It was a huge crowd and a very impressive set of presentations. Catherine Duselis and Steven Frye were very brave and opted for an oral presentation instead of a poster! Zeb Walizer also stepped out of his comfort zone by working on a biology project under Biology Professor Wilkes' guidance. It is a great way to the end the semester by seeing the results of our researchers' hard work. Thanks to everyone who participated whether by presenting or supporting our students.
