Biology majors McGinnity and Landon co-presented a topic on non-native species invading foreign ecosystems, titled \u201cInvasive Species of the United States.\u201d Using Tennessee as a case study, McGinnity and Landon explored the most common and destructive invasive species causing damage to the state\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n

A chemistry major, Johnson explored the links between cancer survivors and their support systems in a discussion titled, \u201cThe relationship between limitations in daily activities and the receipt of social support among cancer survivors by racial\/ethnic and socioeconomic subgroups in the United States.\u201d Johnson studied the relationship between the limitations of cancer survivors and the support they receive from family and friends in completing their daily activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHannah, Malena and Shelia all did a really great job, and I think this was a great experience for them,\u201d Matthew Kenney, director of the Honors Program at Austin Peay State University, said. \u201cSometimes even professional conferences can be lightly attended, but our students each got an opportunity to present their work in front of well-attended sessions and I think they gained a lot from the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
