Loyola's Pre-eminent Undergraduate Research Event
The Department of Biological Sciences will host its 25th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium on Friday, March 13, 2015 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Loyola University New Orleans main campus in Nunemaker Hall Auditorium, on the 3rd Floor of Monroe Hall. A crawfish social will immediately follow the symposium in the Peace Quad.
The symposium is designed for seniors who have chosen to complete undergraduate research to receive honors credit by completing research in Biological Sciences. Each student has a faculty adviser and must complete several requirements in order to participate. Participating students prepared videos and Powerpoint presentations to communicate their research to their student and faculty peers. In addition to participating in the symposium, students must complete a written version of their research and results. The symposium will afford biology seniors an opportunity to present their research, some of which has taken students several years to complete. The presentations are as diverse as biology is as a field – ranging from blue crab larvae abundance, to modulation of HIV, to the response of plants to UV irradiation.
For additional information contact Dr. Patricia Dorn at (504) 865-3672 or by email at dorn@loyno.edu. Additional information about the program and times of each presenter may be found at www.loyno.edu/biology
