Outstanding Undergraduate Researchers Recognized by SOT

By Robert Roth posted 14 days ago

  

The SOT Education and Experiential Opportunities Committee (EEOC) is pleased to recognize 17 outstanding undergraduates who are presenting posters at the SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Orlando, Florida, as SOT Undergraduate Research Award recipients. These students come from a variety of institutions but share in having demonstrated research skills and a commitment to toxicology research, documented in their application and by their research mentor. EEOC will welcome these students during an early event on March 16, and they will be recognized during the SOT Awards Ceremony. The SOT Undergraduate Research Award recipients participate in the Undergraduate Education Program as well as other meeting events. The award provides travel and lodging support for the full meeting. EEOC has also arranged for a meeting mentor. 

Watch for a large purple ribbon on a poster, and stop by to congratulate these outstanding students, learn about their research, and encourage them to continue in a toxicology-related career path.
