Their showing at the Mid-Central Conference is but the latest example of that. Ning Wang, graduate student in biological and agricultural engineering from Beijing, China , was selected as the Outstanding Graduate Student in the region. The Agricultural Technology Management Club won second place for their annual activities report as well. Undergraduate students John Bloomfield, freshman in open option arts and sciences, Alma , and Daniel Ngandu, senior in biological and agricultural engineering, Manhattan , each presented a technical research paper at the conference along with several graduate students. K-State students presented nine out of 33 papers at the conference.
Technical presentations focus on current research developments in the four-state region.
The department also won the Student Mile Award for greatest participation at the conference. The award was won with 28 K-State students participating, more than the other three universities combined. One benefit of that is many students get to work on challenging projects with faculty who are interested in helping students learn and grow.
