Representatives from Professor Cory Young's Government and Stakeholder Relations Class presented at the Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) Conference on Undergraduate Research earlier this month.

Their research paper, titled "Corporate Evolution and the Capitalist Dilemma: A Critical Paradigm for CSR," won best paper at the conference. Kristina Roth, P.J. Scott, and Lauren Sirkey were on hand to accept the award for their class.
