Two Graduate students at Texas A&M University-Commerce won awards at this year’s Federation of North Texas Area Universities’ Graduate Student Research Symposium.
“This event is always a capstone experience for graduate students from our three institutions,” said Arlene Horne, vice provost for research and dean of graduate studies. “The Federation Symposium this year was especially noteworthy because of the exceptional presentation by the keynote speaker, Dr. Larry Lemanski. We have received many comments on the lessons learned from the presentation, especially the encouragement of graduate student participation in research, presentation of that research, and publication of that research while still in graduate school. Many comments were also received from our faculty judges on the outstanding quality of the graduate student presentations. Overall, this year’s Federation Symposium was a rousing success!”
This year, two A&M-Commerce students won prizes in their categories. Nelly Shora won first place in the Education, Humanities, Social Sciences and Business category, while Jacob McCabe won second place in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math category.
“I had a great experience at the Graduate Student Research Symposium,” said Shora. “This was my second year participating, and I enjoy it because it allows us to have the opportunity to meet and learn from students in other disciplines. As graduate students, we don’t always have the chance to meet students outside of our own area, so events like this help us to expand our networks and appreciate the work being done across the university. There was excellent competition, and I am so impressed by the outstanding work A&M-Commerce students are doing.”
