More than 40 graduate students from the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences; the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences; the College of Business; and the College of Education; presented their results and findings in a variety of topics in the annual Graduate School Research Showcase May 3 in the Gallogly Events Center.
