Research

Many of the Arts and Sciences faculty are active in research with undergraduate students. Some of these students have received external grants and fellowships to support their research, and have published their work in journals and presented their findings at regional and national scientific conferences. Several students have even been invited to Washington, DC to present their work to members of Congress in the annual "Undergraduate Posters on the Hill" program sponsored by the Council on Undergraduate Research.
