The 1xbet sports betting Scholars from K-State presented their summer research projects Sept. 26 at the virtual MKN 1xbet sports betting Heartland Research Conference.

Kathleen Greene, director of Educational Supportive Services and the 1xbet sports betting Scholars Program, and the 1xbet sports betting staff owe special acknowledgment to the mentors who supported the development of these projects during a difficult year. Mentors were compassionate, adaptive, flexible and encouraging as projects were reshaped for the online environment and as students and the faculty themselves experienced numerous obstacles due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can find mentor names below alongside their scholars.

Scholars planned their projects this past spring under the guidance of selected faculty mentors. The summer research internship began on June 2 and involved intensive work with mentors and weekly meetings with 1xbet sports betting staff to monitor their progress. The scholars also spent three hours a week in a seminar preparing them for graduate-level writing and taking the Graduate Records Examination, a standardized test required for admittance to most graduate programs. Scholars received stipends to support their participation in the summer internship.
