On April 20, sixty-seven IVC students, supported by the IVC Honors Program, participated in the 24th Annual Honors Transfer Council of California (HTCC) Research Conference at the University of California, Riverside. IVC students delivered 27 oral and nine poster presentations, comprising 36 of the 218 research projects. Under the guidance of IVC faculty mentors, students worked hard to conduct research, write proposal abstracts, and prepare their posters or oral presentations.
IVC’s Psi Beta chapter won an Outstanding Abstract Award for their project “Exploring the Dynamics of Honors Education: The Impact on Mistakes, Purpose, and Academic Self-Efficacy in Honor and Non-Honor College Students.”
Two IVC Honors students, Luis Barbosa and Madiha Pashtoon, were awarded the HTCC Exemplary Achievement Award. Fourteen additional IVC students participated in the conference by volunteering to moderate Q&A during oral presentation sessions.
IVC Honors Coordinator Emily Liu served as the conference’s program chair on behalf of the Honors Transfer Council of California.
