10^th Annual STEM Research Symposium

The College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Professional and Career Education hosted the 10th Annual Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) Research Symposium on April 6.

The S.T.E.M. Research Symposium is a poster presentation competition aimed at engaging the local scientific community in learning about ongoing discoveries within S.T.E.M. disciplines (biology, chemistry, computer science, health science, information technology, mathematics, psychology, and physics).

This annual event is sponsored by the Departments of Biology, Mathematics & Computer Science, Psychology and Physical Sciences, the School of Professional and Career Education, and private donors.
