Three Eastern New Mexico University students traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, to attend the annual Entomological Society of America conference from Nov. 17-20. With over 3,600 attendees, the conference is considered one of the largest entomological meetings in the world.
The fifteen top-scoring ENMU freshmen in a nationally-normed test of general knowledge were recognized this fall by President Dr. Jeff Elwell, who commended them for the academic performance.
