2013 Apr 25

Sophomore science major Zachary Peterson, of Avondale, won the STEM Research Award, which recognizes a project that is in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering or math and could hold significance to the general public, for his research titled "The Earliest Stars in the Universe: The evolution of High-Mass Population III Stars" at Penn State Brandywine's annual spring Exhibition of Undergraduate Research, Enterprise and Creative Accomplishment (EURECA) on April 16.

During the event, students answered questions about their objectives, methods, overall conclusions and the relevance of their projects, providing them with a unique opportunity to engage in scholarly discussions about their work.

This year's EURECA featured 20 poster presentations and four oral presentations from students in disciplinary programs such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); arts and humanities and social sciences; enterprise; and creative accomplishment, which includes literature, art and performance.
