Description
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th Annual SCSE Research Symposium. In just over a decade, undergraduate summer research in the sciences at Northeastern Illinois University has grown from a few groups of students working with faculty mentors within their departments, to a robust, structured summer research program with dozens of students working with faculty across the STEM disciplines at NEIU. The presentations at the symposium today will give you all an appreciation of the breadth and depth of the scientific questions that our students have been investigating all summer. To our students presenting their work today, congratulations! You have learned a lot through this experience, and I hope you have also appreciated the joys that come from diving deep into a topic and studying it all summer. I ask that you view your presentations at this symposium not as a culmination of your summer research, but as a step in the process of becoming engaged scientists and researchers. As you enjoy the presentations today, do take a moment to appreciate the faculty mentors who have guided you along on this scientific journey and your fellow students that have travelled along with you. Again, congratulations to the students on your work, and thank you to the faculty mentors and the SCSE staff for your deep commitment to summer research at NEIU!
