Four University of North Georgia (UNG) undergraduate students presented their research at "Posters at the Capitol" in Atlanta on March 30.
Roughly 30 students from seven colleges and universities presented at the annual event.
The students who shared their work were:
Elizabeth Dobbs, "Deforestation and Naturally Occurring Asbestos Exposures in North Georgia."
Kennedy Dubose, "A Comparison of the Efficacy of Four Brands of Mouthwash Antiseptics to Inhibit Bacterial Growth using Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mitis."
Jared Oenick and Kendall Carr, "Novel Technique for the Isolation of Bacteriophage from Environmental Samples."
The program is modeled on the popular "Posters on the Hill" event held each year by the Council on Undergraduate Research in Washington, D.C.
"Students get the chance to practice discussing their research with the general public, a very important skill to develop," Dr. Diogo Pinheiro, associate professor of sociology and human services and assistant director of the Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities, said. "They are also able to reach a particularly influential audience: legislators, policymakers, students and faculty from other universities."
Hundreds of high school students participated in the seventh annual Future Georgia Educators Day on Oct. 31, learning about the teaching profession from UNG students and College of Education faculty.
