Dr. Ketia Shumaker attended American Society of Plant Biologists meeting in July 2011 with two summer outreach students, Dantria Grace and Christen Nelms.

Award Received in February, 2012:The poster they presented received an award of Honorable Mention from the Council on Undergraduate Research in the Posters on the Hill competition.

These students were chosen for one of this project's outreach components, the undergraduate research training and experience program, and they presented their research accomplished over the summer at Penn State University.
