Fifteen oral presentations were given by faculty and students. Special lectures, receptions and exhibits also took place on campus.
\nAwards were given for poster presentations to undergraduate, graduate, and faculty and staff for empirical and non-empirical research and scholarly work. A \u201cPeople\u2019s Choice Award\u201d was also given.
