Seven undergraduate chemistry students took part in the inaugural year of the Research Experience for Summer Scholars (RESS) program during summer 2014.
Six graduate and 19 undergraduate students from the College of Natural Science and Mathematics were active participants, presenting posters of their work in August. Students worked in research laboratories for 10 weeks under the direct supervision of
one or more IUP College of Natural Science and Mathematics faculty members.
