More than 170 undergraduate students from CUNY community and senior colleges funded by the CUNY Research Scholar Program and the CUNY Immersive Research Program presented posters and talks at the 2025 CRSP/CIRE Symposium hosted by La Guardia Community College on July 8th and 9th. We mentors are so proud of all these students. I am particularly proud of undergraduate student in my lab Marayke Mayrata who was one of the 4 students whose presentations were selected as “best of the best”. Research at the undergraduate level is key for all scientists! Chemistry Department, Brooklyn College Brooklyn College Cancer Center
