Student Researchers Shine at Symposium

The annual Spring Student Research Symposium features the work of more than 40 student researchers on 23 different posters Thursday, April 18, from 3:30–5:00 p.m.  in the Winter Hall Atrium.

“I'm looking forward to seeing the work our students have been doing this year,” says Michael Everest, interim dean and chemistry professor. “One of the hallmarks of a Westmont education is the opportunity for undergraduate students to work directly with faculty on research projects.”
