More than 150 students presented
research findings April 30 as part of
Union University’s Scholarship
Symposium.
The university’s Undergraduate
Research Program sponsors the annual
event. Presentations are open to under
graduate and graduate students who
have completed a collaborative, innovative
scholarly project during the
current academic year.
The program’s goal is to provide
students with the opportunity to work
with a faculty mentor on a research
project. More than 40 faculty members
participated with students in this year’s
symposium.
“The privilege for students to participate
in this level of serious exploration
and research is usually reserved for
graduate study, Union University
President David S. Dockery said. “The
entire project is an affirmation of the
quality of Union students and the
serious investment that Union faculty
members provide for these students.”
Among the research presentations:
a study of autonomous robot design,
a look at human trafficking in Latin
America, a survey of Madison County
and Jackson residents about the possibility
of consolidated government, and
analysis of care practices available to
Alzheimer’s patients in Tennessee.
