Molly Hebzynski gives her presentation "Not Until We Reach the Top" for which she studied about women who are top executives. "During my research process the most significant thing I learned is that women are very underestimated in the top executive positions. They’re not seen as where men are seen they’re not taken as seriously. "
All first-year University Honors Program students presented an integrated knowledge research project to the public April 17 in Atwood Memorial Center. More than 120 students presented at the colloquium.
Each project was a joint effort between the student and faculty from their university-wide courses and serves as the culminating experience of their first year in the University Honors Program.
Students combined two of their first year courses to develop a research project that creates new knowledge. They then write a paper and present their posters. Through the experience the students learn how to do research with a faculty member, how to do interdisciplinary research and how to give a formal presentation.
Justin Winnett took home Best in Show for his presentation “Going for the Gold. Drew Seibert earned Most Creative Connection for his “Shakespeare and Code.” Bailey Eiynck earned Best Research honors for “Mr. Mathematics.” Cheenou Her took home Best Visual/Poster for “Hellenistic Beliefs on the Origins of Life.”
