New BUILD Scholars and Fellows concluded their eight week SURGE summer reasearch expereince by presenting their research to their peers, BUILD mentors and BUILD staff in four seperate breakout rooms. This was a first and important step to their success as they pursue a doctoral degree and research career. The event was a celebration of the students' hard work and a great way to get to know each other and each person's research in the BUILD community.
Below you can view video recordings of the students' presententions in each of the four breakout rooms as well as each students' poster by clicking on the poster title. View a copy of the 2020 BUILD Summer Symposium Program here.
