On Saturday, October 17th, 41 undergraduate women presented their research on a national platform at the intercollegiate Scientista Symposium at Microsoft Office in Times Square, New York. The researchers were selected to enter a poster competition. The students were assessed and scored by three judges during the morning closed judging session. Then the students presented their research to the 200 attendees of the Scientista Symposium, which included guest speakers and students from across the country.
