College hosts virtual undergraduate research showcase Thirteen ATCOFA students presented posters and discussed their research virtually with faculty and staff during the college’s Undergraduate Research Showcase held in December 2020. “These students should be congratulated for their hard work and enthusiastic participation despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic,” said Dr. Sheryl Jerez, professor of environmental science and chair of the research showcase committee.” The top eight finalists were chosen following an interview by the factulty-led research committee.
