As students progress in our research program, they start to differentiate their work into the various sciences. This year our sophomore research students were enrolled in either our Research in Practice or Introduction to Social Science Research course. All students completed a team project in either the Natural or Social Sciences that was presented at either the Andromeda Division of the New York State Science and Engineering Fair or the SAAWA Science Fair
To celebrate our efforts of our sophomores, below you will find their final research presentations.
