The Student Research Days Slam is a campus-wide contest in which graduate, undergraduate students and post-docs from ALL DISCIPLINES are challenged to communicate their work in short, dynamic, engaging presentations, with a winner to be decided by the audience. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., and the Slam competition will follow noon–1 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Ballroom.
This year’s slammers and the titles of their talks:
- Jocelyn Bullock (graduate student), agricultural leadership, education and communication; “Casks of Courage: My Ancestors’ Legacy in America’s Craft Beverages”
- Lance Buscher (junior), business administration, and Kenny Morales (junior), software engineering; “LifelineLinks: Nurturing Connections, Breaking Loneliness”
