Howard Payne University students recently had the opportunity to attend the Texas Academy of Science (TAS) annual meeting at The University of Texas Permian Basin in Odessa. This was a valuable experience for them as it allowed them to network with professionals in their field, gain new perspectives, and develop their skills.
In attendance were a group of students and faculty members, including Nolan Godfrey, Dr. Greg Hatlestad, Shayna Oliver, Trevor Bowers, Isabel Clevenger, Victoriano Cooper, Sydney Ben, Ethan Cortez, Cassandra Covos, and Dr. Kristen Hutchins. These individuals were able to engage with others in their field and share research during the conference.
Attending conferences like the TAS annual meeting is an excellent opportunity for students to expand their knowledge and build confidence. It also provides a platform for them to showcase their research and receive feedback from others in their field. In addition to these educational benefits, conferences can help students develop communication skills and form connections that may help them in their future careers.
For Howard Payne University students, attending the TAS annual meeting was an enriching experience that provided them with the opportunity to learn from leading experts and connect with others who share their passion for scientific inquiry. The conference was a great success and those who attended are looking forward to future opportunities to participate in similar events.
