Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) students earned 13 awards at The Texas A&M University System’s 13th Annual Pathways Student Research Symposium held recently at Prairie View A&M University.
Dr. Jennifer Coronado, TAMIU Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, said Symposium participation offers TAMIU students the opportunity to present their research and engage in scholarly dialogue. 74 students participated, traveling by bus to Prairie View.
Symposium participants compete in separate categories for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral level research. At Pathways, students present research in a poster or oral format, while interacting and discussing research with faculty, judges, and others. Students also have a chance to network within the larger Texas A&M University System community.
“Our students competed impressively and represented TAMIU and Laredo admirably, placing as both Distinguished Overall Winners and Discipline Winners. Students’ continued academic and eventual career journeys were truly reinforced,” Dr. Coronado explained.
She noted TAMIU has an undergraduate focus on research collaborations with faculty members through its Quality Enhancement Plan: ACT on IDEAS (Applied Critical Thinking as Expressed through Undergraduate Research.)
