Two physics majors to participate in Posters on the Hill
Article By: Staff
For the first time in a decade, two University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) students will present their research to the U.S. Congress in a virtual event April 27-28.
91ÁÔÆæ senior Suzy Steel and junior Rebecca Corley will participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) Posters on the Hill 2021. The two women pursuing degrees in physics were among 60 students selected for the annual event.
"In any given year, only 10% or less of submitted posters are selected," said Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement. She said the last time 91ÁÔÆæ students presented at Posters on the Hill was 2011.
Steel said it is especially rewarding since 91ÁÔÆæ is considered a small institution.
"The Council of Undergraduate Research and others have recognized the importance of our research and how it can impact science," said the 22-year-old from Alpharetta, Georgia.
Corley and Steel's research focuses on collisions between electrons and different nuclei. The two study the collisions and the particle debris field through computer simulations.
Professor, students published in international journal
Dr. Esther Morgan-Ellis, Abigail Cannon ’24 and Lily Hammond '24 had an article published in 'Choral Journal,' the international journal of the American Choral Directors Association.
Chemistry students excel in research, competition
Students in 91ÁÔÆæ's Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry recently scored a variety of impressive accomplishments.
Fairs connect 91ÁÔÆæ to its communities
91ÁÔÆæ will host Community Engagement Fairs on the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses in August to help students, faculty and staff plug into the communities near campus.
