Written By: Ian Silvester

On April 5, 2024, over 80 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 鈥 Fort Smith students, of whom 66% are first-generation, presented research projects from disciplines ranging from accounting to dental hygiene and Latino Studies to theatre at the 17th Annual Student Research Symposium. Individuals and teams presented more than 45 oral and poster research projects. Fourteen of them were declared winners.

Research projects at the Student Research Symposium covered presentations from accounting, biology, chemistry, computer science, dental hygiene, electronics, engineering, English, geology, geoscience, history, Latino Studies, literature, music, nursing, political science, psychology, public transportation, and theatre. Students presented their findings to fellow 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 students, faculty, staff, and a panel of judges.

It was the first time sophomore biomedical professions students Armonii Dixon and Kiara Thomas, presented at the Student Research Symposium, and they shared that the experience not only formed a bond between them but had implications for the future.

鈥淚 learned that it鈥檚 not as hard as it looks,鈥 Armonii said. 鈥淪tarting this research now can potentially help with my research for med school,鈥 Kiara said.

Armonii and Kiara explored evolutionary biology with their poster presentation entitled 鈥淧hylogenetic Analysis and Molecular Adaptation Events in Whales and Dolphins.鈥

A biology major, Peri Tygart, didn鈥檛 present this year but attended to support her sorority sister, Jenny Kindle, who presented 鈥淭he Evolution of Dental Radiology Safety鈥 with Samantha Baughman and Parker Lemley.

鈥淚t鈥檚 cool to see (Jenny鈥檚) schooling go into this,鈥 Peri said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 awesome to see her progress in her career, and I鈥檓 proud of her.鈥
