Prior Sessions
The Aspiring Scientists dedicate their summer to make advancements in scientific research.
At the conclusion of each summer term, ASSIP students present their research during a professional poster symposium attended by Mason’s faculty, staff, students and the local community.
Hard work is often rewarded with publication in scientific journals and research presented at scientific conferences. Below are current submissions/publications and abstracts highlighting the ASSIP students who are co-authors.
