2016 May 5

Wilaysha Evans, a sophomore from Bronx, NY, presented a project at SUNY Oneonta's annual Student Research and Creative Activity Day on April 20.

Evans developed an original project titled "Greener Synthesis of Electroluminescent Compounds and Metal Ion Detection in Water Samples" under the guidance of Jacqueline Bennett of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. It was one of 134 poster presentations displayed at the college's Hunt Union during the daylong showcase.

Created to recognize and promote undergraduate scholarship and creative activity, Student Research & Creative Activity Day has become the premier on-campus event for scholarly student exhibition. A total of 180 students, supported by 66 faculty sponsors, participated in this year's event, which featured presentations on a wide variety of topics across academic disciplines.
