George and Helen Kohut Symposium
We would like to invite you to our annual George and Helen Kohut Symposium to celebrate our 2021 undergraduate and high school research program on Thursday, August 5th from 9-4:30pm.
The community comes together each year for this cornerstone event of the summer internship experience. This event provides the students a professional setting to share their research, and the community an opportunity to celebrate their success.
