The second-year LLCC Radiography students attended the 82nd Annual Illinois State Society of Radiologic Technologists Conference in Peoria last week. The two-and-a-half day conference provides a great deal of education, networking, and friendly competition for the students.  As a requirement of attending the conference, each of the students submit an electronic poster and/or research paper on the topic of their choice.  Of the 22 electronic posters submitted, Allison Reible was awarded 2nd place with her poster on melorheostosis and Brooke Duea was awarded 3rd place with her poster on Paget’s disease. Four of the students competed in the Scholar Bowl with 11 other teams and did an admirable job but didn’t place in the top four to make the final round.  The students representing LLCC’s program at the conference were Dalaney Caulk, Colin Chapman, Austin Dhom, Brooke Duea, Cheyenne Gaillard, Erin Maisenbacher, Allison Reible and Brianna Stokes.
