Every spring, the College of Applied and Natural Sciences (ANS) gathers to celebrate achievements in research from faculty and students in each ANS unit.
Traditionally, ANS Day has included oral and poster presentations; a lunch; and the distribution of awards to our outstanding students, faculty, and staff.
“Last year, COVID-19 prevented us from gathering in-person for this event,” said Dr. Gary Kennedy, ANS Dean. “Though we were still able to share these accolades via email, we missed the camaraderie that makes ANS a home for so many.”
This year, despite the challenges and the difference in venue, students, faculty, and staff gathered again for this cherished tradition.
