NM Tech’s Student Research Symposium displays students’ knowledge, problem-solving

SOCORRO — Whether giving a speech, explaining a poster or participating in a team presentation of a yearlong design project, New Mexico Tech students’ passion for knowledge and problem-solving was on display at a four-day showcase of their research projects.

The months of preparation for the 13th annual Student Research Symposium (SRS) — attending workshops on designing posters, writing abstracts, delivering presentations and elevator speeches; rehearsing; and incorporating feedback into their presentations — paid off as 97 undergraduate and 45 graduate students alike shone brightly before judges, evaluators, faculty, staff, alumni, fellow students and community members who attended the annual event held April 18-21, at the Joseph R. Skeen Library at New Mexico Tech.
