Andrew Dennhardt, (left) an SIUC zoology student traveled to Washington, D.C., May 5, 2009 as part of an elite group of young scholars invited to participate in the annual Posters on the Hill competition. Andrew Dennhardt, a senior, presented his research on the peregrine falcon before lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
