Student Research & Creative Work Showcased In Two Campus Festivals At St. Lawrence

CANTON - They have conducted research on everything from the viability of organic dairy farming in New York State to the mercury levels of birds in the St. Lawrence River valley, written short stories and created artwork in a range of media. On Friday, April 27, students at St. Lawrence University will present the results of their academic study at two festivals that celebrate academic achievement.

The Festival of Science, where students present original research conducted in the sciences, often in collaboration with faculty, is held from noon to 4:30 p.m. in Eben Holden Conference Center. Oral and poster presentations are given, each in two sessions.

Students in the arts, social sciences and humanities give presentations on research and performances at the Festival of Scholarship and Creativity, from noon to 5:45 in a variety of locations on campus. From 5:45 to 7 p.m., the opening reception for the Senior Art Show is held in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery.

In addition to sharing the results of their work with the campus community, students participating in the festivals also apply and develop communication skills and gain exposure to the format of professional research conferences.
