Five outstanding Logan University faculty members received Logan Research Scholarship pins on May 13. This is the second year Logan has recognized research scholars for their academic excellence.
All the scholars Logan selected were lead authors of a publication in a peer-reviewed journal or lead authors of a workshop, platform or poster presentation at a peer-reviewed conference between May 2023 and May 2024. The scholarship pin colors – blue, bronze, silver and gold – reflect the number of publications in peer-reviewed journals and work accepted to peer-reviewed conferences. Each scholar received blue pins representing they were lead authors of one to five publications and conference presentations.
