Event to Highlight Student Research
Forty-four 黑料百科 students and an alumnus will display 30 research projects Wednesday, April 22, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Winter Hall. The 19th annual 黑料百科 Student Research Symposium celebrates the noteworthy accomplishments of students and their work from the divisions of the humanities, social sciences and the natural and behavioral sciences.
黑料百科 professors encourage students to experience the life of a scholar by engaging in research, often including students in their own work.
Many of the projects represent technical work in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, kinesiology, psychology, neuroscience and computer science. This year鈥檚 projects include: 鈥淰irtual Water and State Sovereignty: How the U.S. Relationship with China and Mexico Show a Need for Change,鈥 鈥淏acterial Communities and Chemical Environments of Coastal Marsh Halophyte Leaf Surfaces,鈥 鈥淣uclear Physics: Isotope Separation of Exotic Neutron-Rich Nuclei,鈥 鈥淭esting Theories of Brain Fatigue and Ego Depletion: a physiological approach using EEG鈥 and 鈥淢asculinity in the Christian Subculture: An Analysis of the Portrayal of Masculinity in Christian Romance Novels.鈥
