Halmos Student Presents at ACS Meeting in Savannah, GA

In October 2019, Halmos biology major Minhal Khoja was invited to present at the Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, in Savannah, Georgia. The talk was entitled “CUREs Beyond the Classroom: a student’s perspective.” CURE stands for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences. Ms. Khoja’s talk was part of the meeting’s CURE Chemistry Research in the Lab session which was organized by her supervisor and Halmos faculty member Arthur Sikora, Ph.D.

The research project was funded by Dr. Sikora’s PFRDG grant and Ms. Khoja’s travel was supported by the SGA and a scholarship from the Halmos College Department of Biological Sciences.
