On Wednesday, April 7, various CLA students participated in the Undergraduate Exhibition, held in the HUB Alumni Hall. Offered by the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Schreyer Honors College, the exhibition provides students with an opportunity to present their research to other faculty, staff, and students, as well as the general public.
We congratulate all of the Liberal Arts students who participated in the exhibition, but particularly the award winners from our college. Mackenzie Kagel (psychology) won the Social & Behavioral Sciences category for her poster, "Spatial Development: How Parent-Child Interactions, Gender and race Play a Role." Erin Collins (French, German, and international studies) won the second place prize in the Public Scholarship category; her project was entitled "Islamkunde in NRW: A Source of Integration or Division?"
CLA students also received three of the University Libraries Awards for Information Literacy at the exhibition. Samantha Bernecker (Psychology, World Campus) won first place for her poster, "Patient Attachment Style and the Therapeutic Alliance." Buthainah Al Thowaini (English) received second place for her project, "The Status of English in the Islamic World." And Allison Baker (Psychology) received an honorable mention for her poster, "Asian-American Acculturation and Subjective Well-Being." Great work, everyone!

Jillian and I stopped by the exhibition to chat with some of the CLA participants about their posters. We enjoyed hearing about the students' projects, which typically involved many hours of independent work and collaboration with faculty over the span of two or more semesters. CLA presenters were from a variety of majors, including psychology, political science, French, and philosophy, showing that just about any strong independent research project lends itself to poster format. Most of the presenters are headed to graduate school in the fall, and saw their undergraduate research experience vital to their decision to pursue further education.
