Research Symposium
Thank you to all our undergraduates for presenting your work at the AMSA Research Symposium. It takes courage to put your research out there for critique and you all put in considerable time and effort into your presentations. Be proud of what you have accomplished! Below we have listed the award winners in each research area. For the most part, presentations were judged by at least two independent reviewers, and decisions were made based on their evaluations.
