After a year filled with long hours and hard work, 43 finalists have completed the program successfully. There were plenty of awards this year. People’s choice awards (traditional poster presentation award) have been given to 9 students based on the popular vote, 17 students have received publication award and 3 students have been awarded with undergraduate research exposition award in addition to the small gifts for everybody completing the program.
