ND Space Grant Alumnus Presents Awards to UND Student Researchers

Energy, microlearning and radon, oh my!

At the recent Graduate Research Achievement Day (GRAD) event on Feb. 27. students from various disciplines presented their work, pointing to posters that showed how their studies could influence areas such as energy sustainability, workplace learning and radon testing.

During his introduction to the award ceremony, Scott Snyder, vice president for Research and Economic Development, described the core of what makes events such as GRAD Day — which is hosted by the School of Graduate Studies and Division of Research & Economic Development — so special.

“All of you, regardless of the discipline that you are in, are active in discovering,” he said. “You are pushing forward the boundaries of knowledge through all of the work that you do, and you should be incredibly proud of yourselves.”

More than 200 students, faculty and attendees filled the Memorial Union ballroom to discuss the research Snyder referred to, giving a glimpse of some of the impressive research happening at UND.

Jason Hicks (one of the award presenters), systems engineering manager at Northrop Grumman, is an alumnus of the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium.
