Our first Engelpalooza was a success!

In the Fall of 2019, there were more than 100 people who came to watch students present their various research projects. The event was packed with students, faculty, and staff, and discussion, laughter, and questions filled the hall.

At the end of the event, the poster competition winners were announced!

  • In first place was Nathan Otto, a first-year transfer student
  • In second place was Tanna DeHart, Senior
  • In the third place was Jared Okada, Senior
  • People's Choice winner: Peer Mentor Kevin Williams

  • Austin Murray, Senior
  • Fahd Mohamad, Junior
  • Tim Aparov, Grad Student
  • Jacob Chappel
  • Dr. Jim Tokushia

We would like to thank all Biochemistry Peer Mentors, Graduate Students, Staff, and Faculty who worked diligently to make this event happen. We would also like to thank the HHMI Inclusive Excellence grant for making this event possible.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next Engelpalooza!
