STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—Tarleton State University recently released the results of the Student Research Symposium held on its campus on Nov. 1. Students from the university who participated in the symposium presented high-quality research projects that they had worked on.
Awards were given to the top presentations in each of three categories. These categories included poster presentations, undergraduate oral presentations and graduate oral presentations.
The first-place award for poster presentations went to Clifford Terrel. His adviser was Dr. Linda Schultz, of chemistry and geosciences. Second place went to Andrew Foote, who was accompanied by adviser Barry Lambert of animal sciences.
The undergraduate oral presentations first-place award went to Jordan Sparkman and adviser Dr. Russell Pfau of biological sciences. Rachel Seay, with the help of Pfau, took home the second-place award.
Jessica Castaneda-Gill and adviser Dr. Harold Rathburn, of biological sciences, received the first-place award in graduate oral presentations. The second-place winner was Prashant Amatya. Her adviser was Mark Yu, of agribusiness, agronomy, horticulture and range management.
Tarleton President F. Dominic Dottavio provided $1,000 scholarships to each of the three first-place winners.
The Student Research Symposium was a success. Former Tarleton president Dennis McCabe attributes much of that success to Dr. Beth Rinard, Symposium Committee Chairperson.
“The symposium required a heavy dose of Rinard’s touch and leadership,” McCabe said. “This accomplishment should put [Tarleton] students in great position at Commerce next week at the TAMUS research conference.”
