Undergrad researchers show off their hard work at fall poster session
Undergraduate researchers got out of the lab and into the spotlight during the fall 2005 Engineering, Science, and Natural Resources Undergraduate Poster Session on November 16 entitled "Natural Bridges: Different Perspectives, Common Goals." Presenters answered questions about their projects for a steady stream of visitors in the Betty and Gordon Moore Lobby at Hearst Memorial Mining Building.
