Texas A&M International University and The Graduate School was proud to host the 16th Annual Texas A&M University System Pathways Research Symposium on November 7-8, 2019.
The Pathways Student Research Symposium provides an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students across multiple academic disciplines to present their research findings in a poster or oral format. The Symposium provides students with the valuable experience of networking and showcasing their research with faculty, judges, and other participants to supplement their education.
Projects were judged by a minimum of two Texas A&M University System faculty members with expert knowledge in their perspective field. Students were awarded a gold, silver, or bronze medal depending on place.
