Undergraduate Symposium XXII

Department of Chemistry Presentations

The 22^nd Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium was held Friday March 22, 2002 at Eastern Michigan University. This is a chance for undergraduate students, participating in research projects, to show off their work to a large audience from varying backgrounds. This year, the Department of Chemistry had eight groups of students presenting poster sessions and six giving oral presentations.
