Dean Edelgard Wulfert meets poster presenter, Linda Mariconda who worked with Professor John Schmidt.
26th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium
APRIL 24th 2009-D'Ambra Auditorium ~ Life Science Building
The Undergraduate Research Symposium is sponsored annually in the spring semester by the Department of Biological Sciences. The faculty is proud of its long tradition of mentoring undergraduate research. Selection for participation in the Research Symposium is based on research performance and communication of that research in the form of an oral presentation, a poster, and a formal written paper. This year’s students presenting their work represent a highly talented group of science majors who have participated in at least two semesters of supervised experimental research, and whose research skills have been nurtured by nearly daily individual mentoring by their faculty advisors.
Please follow below for a complete list of student participants with their project title and faculty mentor.
