Show and tell: April 8 event spotlights research, talent of top students

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s best students — researchers, artists and musicians — will be celebrated Wednesday, April 8, at the eighth annual Academic Excellence Symposium.

aes2009-02Student exhibitors will share their work from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Phoenix Room of the University Union. (The always-well-attended event took place in a different location last year, the MAC Hall winter garden, above.)

aes2009-01Participants are nominated by staff and faculty members. The 2009 symposium will feature 82 exhibitors with 48 projects in diverse areas ranging from the invasiveness of garlic mustard, a survey of attitudes on alternative medicine, the music of Teleman, the food crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, to photography and the fine arts (including some of the sample images on this page).

aes2009-031Students will display posters and perform musical selections. The event provides campus and community an opportunity to learn more about the sophisticated research and interesting work being done by UW-Green Bay students.
