On Friday, December 7, the School of Mathematics and Sciences presents the second annual Marian University Undergraduate Scholarship Symposia. The event will be held on the first floor of the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Memorial Library. Posters will be available for viewing from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and the student presentations will be given from noon-2 p.m.
The School of Mathematics and Sciences believes that in order to learn science, students must do science. Our students are given the opportunity to not only conduct publication-worthy research, but also to showcase their talents for the campus community.
