This year, over 100 students from more than 24 colleges across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland showcased their research, with Swarthmore proudly represented by nine participants. Among them, Julian Chen ’28, Evan Chin ’28, Izzy Hunt ’27, and Ania Wong ’28 all received accolades for their outstanding presentations in their respective fields - congratulations to all!
