More than 100 present research at ARC

Hammett, a December graduate from Flowery Branch, Georgia, with a degree in psychology, appreciates the culture of faculty having students join their research. Dr. Zachary Elison, assistant professor of psychological science, mentored Hammett's group.

"They're super kind and willing to walk you through the process with them," Hammett said. "It creates a welcoming environment for students."

Weimorts, a December graduate from Jefferson, Georgia, with a degree in psychology, was grateful for moments like ARC at UNG.

"This helps us prove to ourselves that we're capable of conducting research," Weimorts said. "It's a rewarding experience in that regard."

Millaway, a cadet who is a senior from Cleveland, Tennessee, pursuing a degree in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry, was thankful for the blood thinner research he was able to share at ARC. It also gave his group a new outlet after a previous planned conference presentation was canceled due to a snowstorm.

"ARC allowed me to experience presenting scientific research to a wide audience, which helped me gain a better understanding of how to communicate with people outside of my area of expertise," Millaway said.
