We also encourage students to report their findings at seminars or meetings off campus, e.g., the ACCA Student Symposium, the Argonne Symposium for Undergraduates, or the Tri-Beta District Convention. Some of these studies have been published in refereed scientific journals. Our students work collaboratively with nearby Argonne and Fermi National Laboratories, the Morton Arboretum and the Brookfield Zoo . In addition, we are affiliated with the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory at Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Students may arrange for credit study at the laboratory, which offers courses, research facilities, and field trips, particularly in the summer or during interim.
