ISU Physics students at the Argonne Symposium


Each year a delegation of between 15 and 20 of our students, often the largest group from a single department, attends the Argonne Symposium for Undergraduates in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics, a national conference organized by the Argonne National Laboratory. Students get a chance to present the results of their research projects and interact with other undergraduate researchers, faculty, and lab staff.  After the talks, the department underwrites a fancy dinner for those interested in trying out some different cuisines.

Some photos of our students in action at the Argonne Symposium are presented below.

Students and faculty enjoy a French dinner in Chicago.

This year it was Chinese food.
