Science students doing research
and presenting results

Science students and advisers at the 7 Rivers Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Our undergraduate science students continue to demonstrate the university's excellence in science education. Seven biology and chemistry students presented their research projects at the 7 Rivers Undergraduate Research Symposium held in November at Viterbo University. Student presenters included Samantha Amatuzio, Jaci Bongard, Daniel Carroll, Cody Gill, Kelsey Haugh, Brandon Larsen, and Amy Zawacki. Sami Amatuzio received an award for best poster. Later in November, Amy Zawacki, Jaci Bongard, and Brandon Larsen presented research while attending the Autumn Immunology Conference in Chicago with Dr. Jeanne Minnerath.

Looking ahead on the research front, four biology students were recently awarded national biology honor society Beta Beta Beta Research Foundation scholarships. Students submitted a proposal for their senior research project outlining the objectives of the research and a budget. Receiving scholarships were Katie Stolz, Aleah Bingham, Jaci Bongard, and Madelyn Stiehl.
