GLENVILLE, WV - The winners of the tenth annual ����ֱ�� State College (GSC) Pioneer Showcase research, creative arts, and experiential learning forum have been announced.

In the Language Arts Presentations category, first place went to Anna Childers for “Arete and Virtue.” Second place was awarded to Fairan Gill for “Ladies Man.”

In the Honors Program Presentations category, first place was a tie between Leslee Coffman for work on her book “Stranded” and students Eli Henthorn, Asa Dick, and Jacob Amick for their “Lost Graves of Gilmer” surveying and preservation project. Second place went to Dalton Law for his research on “How AI and Data Analytics are affecting the Accounting Profession.”
