On June 2, 2021, 32 seniors were honored at the 32nd Annual Authentic Science Research (ASR) Symposium virtual event. These students graduated from the program after spending hundreds of hours researching in their fields of interest. Mrs. Stephanie Greenwald, Director of the ASR program, gave one of many heartfelt speeches. She said, “Seniors, you have encountered so many challenges, and you did it! You faced a world of insurmountable hurdles, and you accomplished the unimaginable.” The symposium theme “Forging into the Unknown” seemed appropriately named based on the unique pandemic-related experiences students dealt with during their projects. A hard-working group of juniors, known as the Fab-5, ran the event that concluded with an invitation to a virtual Hall of Presentations by sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Congratulations to the following ASR graduates.
