Arts and Sciences students sweep Inspired Discoveries competition.

Our students are truly inspired—and inspiring.

Two College of Arts and Sciences students were recognized for their winning projects in both the research and creative categories of UB's 2012 Inspired Discoveries, a daylong undergraduate symposium featuring student presentations, poster sessions and panel discussions. Both students received a $500 scholarship.

Jordan Watts (featured on the home page and above) won in the creative category with his project, "Oh God, No: A Web Series," which chronicles the lives of a group of 20-somethings in the Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Adams Morgan. Julie Simon, associate professor, provided faculty supervision.

Vishal Lawlani's project, "Monitoring of E. Coli in Jones Falls, MD: A Comparison of Methods," won in the research category. Wolf Pecher, assistant professor, supervised the project.
