Wilson College Students Embrace the Challenge of Research

On Friday, April 18, Wilson College students will present over 80 research projects at the College’s sixteenth annual Barsy-Colgan Student Research Day. This year's presentations span numerous disciplines from the sciences, humanities, arts, and social sciences, showcasing the breadth and depth of a Wilson education. The event is free and open to the public.

Students will share their work between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fourteen students will make oral research presentations in the auditorium of the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology throughout the day. One student will offer an original piece of work during a poetry reading in Sarah’s Coffeehouse at noon and another student will share an exhibition of original art pieces in the John Stewart Memorial Library at 3:45 p.m. 

Sixty-eight poster presentations of undergraduate student research in multiple disciplines and student group research from history, biology, criminal justice, and nursing classes will be on display throughout the day on several floors of the Stewart Library and in the front lobby of the Brooks Science Center. Students will be available to discuss their posters from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Wilson College alumna Louise Barsy Colgan ’80 and her husband Sean provide an annual gift that makes The Barsy-Colgan Student Research Day possible. Their generous philanthropy also funds academic research grants presented to students for senior year research.
