FACULTY MENTOR AWARDS PRESENTED TO LARSEN, LUDY
Undergraduate researchers and the faculty who inspired them were honored May 2 following the April 22 Undergraduate Research Symposium. Hosted by the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship, this year’s event had 30 percent more participants than last year’s and included 137 presentations (110 posters and 27 oral presentations).
“I was so impressed again with the quality of the student presentations at this year’s symposium,” said Dr. Cordula Mora, CURS director. “One could have easily forgotten that these were all undergraduate students, who are just starting out with their careers. Just imagine what they will be capable of accomplishing in the future! Presenting at the symposium is an important steppingstone for these students. It allows them to develop the skills needed to showcase their outstanding work for their career development.”
In addition to the student winners, two faculty members, Dr. Raymond Larsen, biological sciences, and Dr. Mary-Jon Ludy, food and nutrition, were recognized for their mentorship of undergraduates. Each received an original glass award.
