Stone is no stranger to putting his students in the spotlight. He has had several students present at regional conferences and on-campus research symposia over nearly two decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe value of presenting their work lies in gaining recognition and engaging with faculty and students from other institutions to discuss outcomes and gather feedback,\u201d Stone said. \u201cThe experience also allows them to see the interesting things that other campuses are doing in computing research.\u201d<\/p>\n
Presenting at the conference also provides opportunities for thoughtful engagement, including the chance to ask and answer questions about their findings.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people came up, and most of them asked different questions that made me think deeper about the project and its future,\u201d Heimbach said. \u201cI even got a couple of suggestions for improvements that I think I may implement.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Gajanan Pol, the opportunity was a mix of nerves and excitement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, I was super anxious \u2014 just the idea of standing in front of professionals and peers felt intimidating,\u201d she shared. \u201cBut once I got into it, it was really empowering. We were getting feedback and questions from people who genuinely cared about the topic. It made it feel like a real conversation, not just a presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stone is no stranger to putting his students in the spotlight.
