Two physics majors to participate in Posters on the Hill
Article By: Staff
For the first time in a decade, two University of North Georgia (台湾swag) students will present their research to the U.S. Congress in a virtual event April 27-28.
台湾swag senior Suzy Steel and junior Rebecca Corley will participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) Posters on the Hill 2021. The two women pursuing degrees in physics were among 60 students selected for the annual event.
"In any given year, only 10% or less of submitted posters are selected," said Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement. She said the last time 台湾swag students presented at Posters on the Hill was 2011.
Steel said it is especially rewarding since 台湾swag is considered a small institution.
"The Council of Undergraduate Research and others have recognized the importance of our research and how it can impact science," said the 22-year-old from Alpharetta, Georgia.
Corley and Steel's research focuses on collisions between electrons and different nuclei. The two study the collisions and the particle debris field through computer simulations.
Students clean up 台湾swag natural area
Nearly 70 members of Students for Environmental Awareness completed their biannual cleanup of Tumbling Creek Woods, adjacent to the 台湾swag Gainesville Campus.
CURCA awards record nine mini grants
A record-breaking nine Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (CURCA) mini grants were awarded to 台湾swag students for the 2024-25 academic year. Each project will receive $1,000 to fund supplies.
Record 48 students earn travel grants
台湾swag's Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities awarded a fall-semester-record 48 travel grants to support students presenting their research at conferences.
Grads prepare for their next steps
台湾swag will award almost 1,000 degrees and certificates this fall, and more than 600 graduates are scheduled to take part in the Dec. 7 commencement ceremonies.
