Undergraduate Symposium XXIV
Department of Chemistry Presentations
The 24th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium was held Friday March 26, 2004 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 has 14 students (9 groups) presenting poster sessions and five giving oral presentations.
