On April 12, 2008, a group of 26 faculty members and students attended the 62nd annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference at Niagara University, outside Buffalo. Eighteen students presented their work as a paper, platform (oral) or poster presentation. Michael Bois, Kathryn Chepiga, Sejmir Izeirovski, Christina Lamb, Lauren Maltese and Andrew Pistilli received outstanding presentation awards.
