Student Research
This annual CAFNRM symposium highlights research from students at the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management (CAFNRM) at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. It was initiated by Dr. Norman Arancon in Fall of 2018 as a way for students to gain presentation experience, and to also share their research and class projects with their fellow classmates and faculty.
Although the college provides students with classes to make them well-rounded in agriculture, the divergence of the specializations in the final years of study results in students mainly taking courses in one area such as animals, horticulture, aquaculture etc. This symposium, therefore, is of utmost importance in sharing knowledge and experiences between the specializations within CAFNRM. While refining areas of study is important for academic progress, we must never forget that all areas of agriculture are interdependent and we can all learn from each other!
Poster presentations in the area of research are shared below from the 2018-2019 years.
