LU writing student’s essay takes top honors
Lakeland University freshman Nailah Jones recently presented a creative nonfiction essay at the Riveredge Nature Center's Student Research Symposium. She won first place in the undergraduate presentation category.

Riveredge invites college students to submit an abstract of a current research project to present in oral or poster form at their Student Research Symposium. This year’s theme was “Signals, Systems, and Seasons.”
Submissions were accepted in the categories of biology, environmental science, chemistry, geology and other sciences, but also in the humanities, arts and other disciplines where research intersects with the overall theme.
Jones was among the undergraduate and graduate students from colleges and universities in the region that presented their research with posters and oral presentations.
