Associate Dean's Message - November 7, 2022
Dear GSBS.
An important aspect of scientific research is presenting your work, regardless of where you are in the research process. I am always amazed at our students’ presentation skills and research findings, and the past few weeks were no exception.

I look forward to seeing additional awards our students will receive for their research and presentations.
