Second place ($450): Kolibri Drobish, biology, “Difference of Larvae Abundance in the Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea) Inquiline Community”
Third place ($150): Sara Lindeblad, psychology, “The Relationship Between Cognitive Flexibility and Rumination: An Eye-tracking Study”

Another opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines to share their activities via research posters and oral presentations, which include creative writing and artwork, is NMU's Celebration of Student Scholarship. The 29th annual installment will be held Thursday, April 17, in Jamrich Hall. Learn more here.
