LSAMP Scholars Present at 2022 Research Symposium

The two-part Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Symposium featured poster presentations by student researchers on April 22 and oral presentations on April 27, 2022. Held in Sims Hall on the Syracuse University campus and supervised by LSAMP Director Tamara Hamilton, this year’s research projects covered topics as diverse as biomechanics, organic chemistry, sociobiology, pedology, materials science, and online misinformation.
