Congratulations to this year’s Best Student Presentation Award winners! Due to the National Conference being canceled this year, ASEV had to find other ways to continue with the student activities and presentations that are normally held during the conference. This year, students were required to submit a video to be considered for the Best Student Presentation Awards, and with Lallemand’s generous sponsorship, we were able to award six students. All the winning videos can be viewed here.
