Pre-Collegiate Scholars Year-End Celebration

On April 28, 2009 the Pre-Collegiate Research Scholars program held their year–end celebration and student poster session at Farragut High School. Now in its third year, this outstanding program places well-qualified high school students in research laboratories at UT (both A&S and Engineering), ORNL, and the Knoxville Zoo. The students are mentored and participate in real research projects, producing poster presentations documenting their experience.
 
Dr. James McIntyre, Superintendent of Knox County Schools, addressed the crowd before the session. Dr. Brad Fenwick, Vice-Chancellor of Research and Engagement and Dr. Steve Dandeneau, Associate Provost and Director of the Chancellor’s Honors Program represented UT. Dean Wayne Davis and Associate Dean Masood Parang represented the College.
