How costly is illegal immigration to Aiken County? What are the current issues in homeland security? Is there a difference in attitudes between southerners and northerners on violence and gun ownership? These are just a few of the topics that will be presented in the 11th Annual Student Research and Fine Arts Conference at Augusta State University.
The conference, sponsored by ASU’s chapter of the National Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, will be held Wednesday, March 10, from noon to 4:30 p.m. in the Jaguar Student Activities Center. The conference will open with a performance in the ballroom by the Augusta State Chamber Choir, and conference presentations will follow in designated locations in the JSAC.
The Student Research and Fine Arts Conference is an opportunity for all students at Augusta State University, regardless of discipline, to showcase their scholarly and artistic endeavors. The conference is free and open to the public.
