Presentations provide “taste of
Manchester”
for 9th annual Dean’s
Symposium on March 9
The depth and
scope of the topics students have prepared for the 9th annual
Dean’s Student Scholarship Symposium offer a hint of what students are
finding at Manchester College these days. The public is invited to the
presentations on Friday, March 9 in the Science Center.
Athletic training
major Chris Hamlyn will present research on wrist strength comparisons
between non-active students and Ultimate Frisbee athletes.
Chemistry/psychology major Will Patch will talk about ritalinic acid.
Secondary
education/English major Kyle Coffman will present his paper on
demythologizing women in Shakespeare and history/German major Sam Cox
will talk about German-Americans confronted with anti-German fervor
during World War I. And that’s just a fraction of what students will
have to say on March 9.
A total of 26
students will present 23 research and other scholarly reports in
competition for the annual Jo Young Switzer Award, which is accompanied
by $100 cash. All presenters receive $25 gift certificates to the Campus
Store.
The public is
invited to the presentations, which are in eight sessions – all in the
Science Center, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Friday. A reception and awards
ceremony follows at 4:30 p.m., in Flory Auditorium of the Science
Center. Each presentation will
last a maximum of 18 minutes, evaluated by a faculty team.
