Poster Session for Summer Undergraduate Program 10 A poster session was held in the central courtyard on Wednesday 14 th July 2010. This marked the culmination of a month long Summer Math Experience 10 organized by the LUMS Students Mathematical Society (LSMS). The program started with a week of lectures by different SSE faculty members, who talked about the math involved in their proposed projects along with an outline of the project. The students then broke up into groups and worked on their selected projects for the next three weeks, consulting with their mentor on a regular basis. The outcome of their work was presented in the posters. A panel of distinguished judges was invited to evaluate the posters. They included Dr Shahid Siddiqui (HOD Mathematics PU), Dr Nisar Ahmad (Dr Rafi Mohammad Chaudhri Chair of Physics at GCU) and Dr. Khalil Qureshi (Professor of Practice SSE LUMS). The judges appreciated the effort put in by the students. The results of the competition were very close, with a few points separating most of the posters. Dr. Khalil Qureshi and Dr. Nisar Ahmad gave away the prizes to the recipients at a reception which followed the poster session.
