REU Final Presentations

text: "Congratulations Lyndy, Owen, & Stephanie!"

The AEL once again hosted three students for our Aquatic Ecology & Fisheries Management Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. We continue to be grateful for our partnership with the Ohio Division of Wildlife, which has enabled us to host this wonderful program.

On Friday, July 25, the students all presented the results of their research projects. All of the students did a great job!
