Acknowledgments

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fest (SURF) is truly a collaborative effort. Each year many people contribute to the success of this event. We would like to recognize the following groups and individuals for their dedication and hard work:

We acknowledge the long-standing support of the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences (CNMS) and Dean Dr. William R. LaCourse.

We are grateful to the Program directors, Program coordinators and Research mentors who provided research opportunities for undergraduate students.

We are appreciative of faculty, staff and interns for their willingness to provide assistance.

We would like to recognize family, friends and peers of this year’s presenters. Your continued support helps ensure the success of these future researchers.

And most of all, we would like to thank the Student Presenters for SURF 2024. This event would not be possible without you!
