Schmid College Program Honors and Capstone Conference
Saturday, May 6, 2017
8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. PST
Chapman University's Schmid College of Science and Technology invites you to its program honors and capstone student presentations! This thought-provoking conference is open to everyone, including members of the community and prospective Chapman students.
On the morning of Saturday, May 6, Schmid College students will present their independent research on a diverse array of topics, from prostate and pancreatic cancer to climate change and terrorism to social determinants of health (see presentation titles below).
This year, 35 students will be presenting their research findings in four parallel sessions. The morning promises to be an inspiring display of independent undergraduate scientific research!
