Cody Lloyd Attended UMBC Undergraduate Research Symposium

2014 Nov 6

Cody Lloyd of Lebanon, Pa., recently attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences. Lloyd is a graduate of Cedar Crest High School, and is pursuing a bachelor of science in biochemistry and molecular biology at The Valley.

The Symposium welcomed mentor-approved contributions from undergraduates investigating any aspect of chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. These advances were disseminated in a day-long event that offered nearly 200 student contributions and gathered more than 400 beginning scientists, mentors, and other guests. The event featured two poster sessions with posters judged by panels of participating mentors and other qualified attendees. Judges ranked first and second place posters in each category, and presented awards at the end of the event.

Lebanon Valley College encourages students to be engaged in genuine research. It is through individual research projects, such as those seen at the Symposium, that students actually begin to gain a truly functional knowledge of the principles that they learn in their coursework.
