STEPHENVILLE (November 7, 2017) — Eight Tarleton State University students took first-place honors in The Texas A&M University System’s (TAMUS) 14th Annual Pathways Student Research Symposium last week on the Stephenville campus.

First-place winners at the 14th annual Texas A&M University System’s Pathways Student Research Symposium were announced Friday, Nov. 3, following the two-day symposium hosted by Tarleton State University. Awards were presented to doctoral, graduate and undergraduate students in 19 academic disciplines.

“We’re honored to have hosted this year’s Pathways Symposium,” said Dr. Credence Baker, associate dean of the College of Graduate Studies and planning committee chair. “This was a wonderful opportunity for the next generation of TAMUS researchers. Our planning committee and volunteers worked extremely hard to provide students with opportunities to showcase their research, network with each other and get feedback on their presentations from faculty in The Texas A&M University System.”
