学生迪scoveries Unveiled at 13th Annual Student Research Conference

Hands-on experiential learning is a cornerstone of the educational experience at 埃尔迈拉大学. 这包括研究, which students get to showcase each spring during the College’s Student Research Conference.

第十三届年度盛会, 5月24日举行, 2023年,考尔斯大厅, 有18个研究项目,涉及26名学生, with topics ranging from the genetics of neurodevelopmental disabilities, 课堂教师的最佳实践, 国际学生运动员面临的挑战, 土壤侵蚀.

除了在考尔斯大厅圆形大厅周围展示的研究成果, 讨论了三个研究课题. Jazmine Knox ‘26’s “Slabtown, Elmira’s African American Community” included a lookback at 约翰W. 琼斯, 谁逃离了奴隶制, 在mg冰球突破豪华版下载定居, and assisted hundreds of fugitives as an Underground Railroad Station Master; the Green Pastures Jazz Club that attracted notable musicians to the area; and Ernie Davis, who grew up in Elmira and went on to become the first African American recipient of the Heisman Trophy.

Following her presentation, a few shared their personal experiences going to Green Pastures. 第一个问题是她为什么要研究斯莱布敦, the Elmira Eastside neighborhood originally settled by freed African Americans and named for the housing construction that used one-foot-wide wooden planks.

“I felt like it was my responsibility as an African American from Elmira, 展示埃尔迈拉是如何拥有一个活跃的非裔美国人社区的,”她说。.

The other presentations featured Oscar Muñoz Trinidad '23’s “Difficulties that International Student-Athletes Face in College in the United States of America” and Julia Ambrose ‘23’s “Identification of Functional Interactors of hRad9b.”

Students said the Student Research Conference experience helped refine their presentation skills and to think more critically about their research.

“Some people had great questions that Professor Bidwell and I hadn’t discussed or thought about previously,25岁的Alexa Sitzer说, a青少年教育:化学专业. “在我们的项目中, we’re creating student-developed supplemental materials to use in Chemistry classes. 讲义上有提示,帮助学生们解决问题. 有人问我们如何把材料发给学生, 迫使我们更仔细地考虑后勤问题.”

“Presenting at the Student Research Conference helped me prepare for the research conference I attended in the 巴哈马群岛,26岁的杰西卡·耶森斯基说, adding that she refined her elevator speech based on the conversations she had with the other students and faculty. 在mg冰球突破豪华版下载的学生研究会议之后, Yesensky traveled to and presented at the Fourth Joint Symposium at the Gerace Research Center in San Salvador, 巴哈马群岛.

The annual Student Research Conference is sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs and is organized by faculty volunteers Dr. 郑平博士. 凯利·凯恩和凯利·凯恩博士. 艾比保尔森.
