Several students representing the Louis Stokes South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP) at the College of Charleston were honored recently for their academic research.
Students Bravada Hill (senior, biology major); Sierra Small (senior, chemistry and public health major); Omorose Aighewi ’16 (biochemistry major); Aliya Dumas (senior, biochemistry major); and Quinten Meadors (senior, biology major) took part in SCAMP’s 2016 Undergraduate Research Showcase and Symposium at South Carolina State University.
Students representing nine different SCAMP alliance institutions submitted a total of 35 research abstracts at the annual event.
Hill and Small were named Poster Blitz Winners, meaning their abstracts were among the top five at the event. Hill then went on to win the honor of Best Poster Presentation, the top award at the symposium.
Dumas and Meadors were recognized as Research Showcase Panelists in the symposium’s International Research Scholars Awards.
Established by Congress in 1991 and funded by the National Science Foundation, SCAMP’s mission is to increase the number of minority students in the degree programs of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
