Since 2008, 91¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s honors students have presented scholarly posters at the National Collegiate Honors Council. This year the meeting went virtual. But five 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ scholars both made the cut to present, joining 300 other undergraduate researchers from around the nation, and filed their MP4 video files, posters, and personal statements in time for the virtual conference. Over 90 percent of those exhibiting scholarly posters were university students.
