On Friday, March 29, 2019, students from the Department of Biological and Physical Sciences and the Department of Engineering Mathematics presented their summer research findings at Shaw University’s 8th Annual Student Research Symposium. The symposium is an event that “features oral and poster presentations of research projects and internships by students from departments and colleges across the Shaw campus and undergraduates from local universities.” According to Dr. Sarah Straud, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological and Physical Sciences, the event showcased “what our students are capable of and what our students do.”

Students Jose Pineda Reyes (Junior, Engineering Mathematics), Bianca Igwe (Senior, Biology), La’Tricha Parks (Senior, Engineering Mathematics), and Ka’Shawn Robertson (Junior, Chemistry) presented their research findings at Shaw University’s 8th Annual Student Research Symposium. Students completed their summer research at various competitive research institutions across the country.

Special thanks go to Dr. Mark Melton, Dean, and Professor of the School of Sciences, Mathematics, and Public Health, for helping students secure summer internships. Thanks also go to Dr. Tyrell Carr, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological and Physical Sciences. Thanks also go to Dr. Kimberly Raiford, Assistant Professor and Interim Division Head of the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Shaw University, for organizing the event.
