WLBZ previews 2016 Student Research Symposium
WLBZ (Channel 2) reported more than 500 University of Maine students will showcase their work during the 2016 Student Research Symposium at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor on April 27. The event for both undergraduate and graduate students offers an opportunity to speak with Maine residents, including those who could benefit from the research, according to the report. One of the student leaders told WLBZ that a large focus of the event, as well as research at UMaine in general, is finding solutions to problems in Maine, such as how to protect wild blueberry crops or improve education in rural areas.
