Students Present at Susquehanna Valley Research Symposium

The 9th annual Susquehanna Valley Undergraduate Research Symposium was held on July 31, 2019 at Bucknell University. This event was sponsored jointly by Bloomsburg University, the Bucknell Center for Social Science Research, Geisinger, and Susquehanna University.  It is a valuable opportunity for students in central Pennsylvania to showcase their research activities, learn about other methods and disciplines and gain the experience of presenting at a professional conference.  This year more than 100 students presented posters.

The following COST students presented their research at the symposium.
