On March 22nd, four Evangel University students, Adam Engebretson, Kyle Fulghum, Audra Stephenson and Chelsie Brown, presented their research at the 2013 Sigma Zeta National Convention at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois. Sigma Zeta is a national undergraduate honor society that encourages and fosters scholarly activity and recognizes academic scholarship in the natural and computer sciences and mathematics. The research team is supervised by Dr. Fred Fortunato. The Sigma Zeta adviser at Evangel is Dr. Glenner Richards.
In 2012, Engebretson and Fulghum received a student research award form Sigma Zeta to contribute to their research project, titled “The Effect of Molecular Branching on Specific Rotation in Isomers of Alcohols: Separation of Racemic Alcohols into Pure Enantiomers.” They were recognized at the convention for receiving this award.
