The morning and afternoon poster sessions were attended by peers and faculty from the Departments of Biomedical Sciences and Exercise Science. Also in attendance were Drs. Eric Thelen of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, Vice Provost for Research William Weiner, and Provost Madeline Wake. Dr. Wake gave a keynote address wherein she emphasized the uniqueness of this research opportunity for Undergraduate Students, and Marquette’s committment to the education of scientists.

Editor’s Note: I did not coerce them into doing this. In fact, I didn’t even know we had a lab ’sign’. Although I am, of course, delighted.
