Students present at UW Undergraduate symposium
Last month, Seattle Central students joined undergraduates from across the region to present their research projects at the Undergraduate Research Symposium at the University of Washington. Students have been conducting a research project as part of “Ready! Set! Transfer!,” a program that provides support to students at community colleges to help them transfer to four-year institutions to study STEM fields. Presenting their projects to a group of their peers offers students the opportunity to develop the public speaking and networking skills that help them be successful as they transfer to other institutions and launch careers.
The following students presented at the symposium:
- Jeremy Rodriguez, Jeremy Axworthy and Niloufar Ghosian (South Seattle College) on “Effects of Sea Star Wasting Disease on the Intertidal Community of the Puget Sound”
- Paige Bennett and Aidan Keith on “Development of a Plant-Based Vaccine against River Blindness”
- Rebecca Roman and Taylor Warn on “Turing Machines: An Interdisciplinary Approach, the Second Generation”
- Mariah Weavil-Abueng on “Variability in Open Chromatin Across Humans”
- Angela Kimber on “Diazotization as a Mechanism for Functionalization of Graphene”
