ATLANTA, Ga.— Petra Goettel, Georgia State University film and media major from Mount Airy, won second place for film displays during the virtual 2020 Georgia State Undergraduate Research Conference.
The 14th annual Georgia State Undergraduate Research Conference, drew more than 180 student presentations despite moving to a virtual format in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The conference allows undergraduates of all majors and from all Georgia State and Perimeter campuses to showcase their work as scientific posters, oral presentations, artistic and film displays, and musical performances. Faculty judges evaluate and score each project to determine award winners based on presentation type and category.
This year, because the event could not take place live, students were allowed to record and upload their performances to a special website. Goettel’s presentation, titled “City Harvest: A Growing Community,” also won a Sustainability Award, presented by the university’s Office of Sustainability for research focused on environmental protection and ecological problem-solving. Her faculty sponsor was Aggie Bazaz, assistant professor of film, media and theatre.
