2010 International Scholar Research Summaries
The Fifth Annual International Scholar Research Exposition will be held outside President Gee's office, near the Office of the Vice President of Research, on the second floor of Bricker Hall. Current international J-1 visiting scholars were invited to submit research summaries and from those, 30 finalists were asked to create research posters for display. The posters will be in on display in Bricker Hall during November and December 2010.
