Honors Students Present Research at UCI
Publish Date: April 1, 2021
Six members of 海角直播鈥檚 Honors Institute have been selected to present their research at the 2021 University of California Irvine College Honors Research Conference March 26 and 27. This annual conference gives community college students the opportunity to present the results of their work in either oral or poster presentation format. Cash prizes are awarded to the top abstracts and posters, and additional awards are presented to students who have shown exemplary achievement in their own honors programs.
This traditionally in-person conference is being held as a virtual conference this year, which creates a unique opportunity for the 海角直播 community to participate. Honor鈥檚 coordinator Judy Cannon encouraged 海角直播 students, faculty and administrators to attend the event virtually to cheer on the six students, and she pointed out the potential benefits of participation.
鈥淭his is a chance for students who might be interested in applying to present at the conference next year and for faculty to see what kinds of research community college students are doing in their disciplines,鈥� explained Cannon. 鈥淚t is important that the students feel supported, and you will be proud of them when you hear them present their research.鈥�
