STUDENT LIFE
2009 Student Mentoring Conference
Tracy Cermak and Kyle Pulner, together with Elisabeth Burgess authored a poster and presented at the 2009 Student Mentoring Conference in Athens Georgia. This conference is an excellent opportunity for students to present their work to a friendly crowd. Students from all over the southeast presented their research and had the opportunity to answer questions from other attendees. Plan on attending this conference next year!
