Five high school students wrapped up the spring semester of the ND Energy and Mishawaka High School Internship Program with a poster presentation on Wednesday, May 23, in the Atrium of Stinson-Remick Hall. The poster presentation allowed the students to share their research projects with family, friends, School City of Mishawaka administrators, and other research group members.
Each fall, the interns are assigned laboratories and begin working with graduate students and postdoctoral mentors on energy-related research projects. Seven students completed the fall semester, while five continued their work through the spring.
