Students share findings, experiences at Undergraduate Research Conference

两性色午夜 University at Salem held its fall Undergraduate Research Conference, an event that recognizes students for their research and allows them to share what they learned through discussions with the academic staff. 

Dr. Karen Resendes was the keynote speaker for the 2019 URC.

The conference is open to all undergraduates in any discipline and in any for-credit course on any 两性色午夜 campus. Faculty judges evaluate the presentations based on originality; significance; evidence of learning about the research and information gathering process; and overall quality.

Dr. Karen Resendes was the keynote speaker, sharing her experiences with research as an undergraduate and how it helped shape her career path. As an undergrad, she worked in the cell biology laboratories at the College of William and Mary and the National Cancer Institute.

She went on to earn a doctorate in molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry at Brown University. She is now the co-director of the Drinko Center for Undergraduate Research at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa., where she pursues cancer biology research with undergraduate students.  Resendes also works nationally to promote undergraduate research by serving as an executive board member and the biology division chairperson of the national Council on Undergraduate Research.
