STRS Symposium
CVM Students Present Summer Research
Student Technology and Research Symposium (STARS) is a one-day program during which students from all colleges at WesternU
present the results of their summer research project. Each student submits a written abstract and gives a 15-minute oral
presentation to faculty members from all colleges, visitors, and fellow students.
The July 26, 2016 STRS event was hosted by Vice President for Research & Biotechnology Steven J. Henriksen, PhD.
The symposium marked the conclusion of the 2016 Summer Grant Fellowships.
Presenters from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the titles of their works were:
Cherein Abdel Massih, DVM ’18 Won Suk Kim, DVM ’19
