We will also feature a faculty panel to share strategic tips and personal experiences of the research process: Kristianna Altamirano (Kinesiology and Health Science), Jonah Chang (Chemistry, Physics and Engineering), Lisa Swain (Cinema and Media Arts) and Allen Yeh (Intercultural Studies).
Come learn about research and celebrate the academic achievements of our Biola community! We will have raffle prizes, snacks and refreshments.
