The KSRE Summer Research Fellowship program will host the closing ceremony on July 25, 2019 at 10 a.m. in Waters Hall, room 137. At this event, each KSRE fellow will give an oral presentation over their summer research projects. Concluding the KSRE Summer Research Fellowship program, each student should have produced tangible research results demonstrating his/her knowledge of experimental research and will report the results in a special research forum.
The following students are participants of the 2019 KSRE Fellowship:
Alyx Harris, Southern University;

We were excited and energized to have had these students as our guests over the last few days.
