Nine Hollins students were among nearly 200 undergraduates from across the country who delivered poster presentations at the 12^th annual Summer Research Conference at Virginia Tech, held in July.

“Over the course of the past 10 weeks, these students have been engaged in a wide variety of projects tackling real world programs in many disciplines,” Keri Swaby, director of the Office of Undergraduate Research at VT, stated at the conference. “As always, I am humbled by the quality of work and wealth of research that took place this summer.”

Jill C. Sible, associate vice provost for undergraduate education at VT, added, “Summer affords undergraduates the opportunity to dedicate significant time and effort to the planning, execution, and analysis of a research project. They have also had the chance to become authentic members of research teams by working with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff. Many thanks to all who have mentored undergraduates this summer.”
