In Announcements, by , on April 16th, 2014

Niagara University’s annual Undergraduate Research Conference took place Friday, April 11, with 125 students presenting their findings to the campus community. Morning panel discussions were held in St. Vincent’s Hall, while posters illustrating the students’ work filled the Castellani Art Museum in the afternoon.

The event was sponsored by the University Honors Program.

Research topics varied widely, from Kathleen Brown’s examination of a political candidate’s attractiveness affecting voting behavior and Michelle Heemskerk’s study of the emotional readiness of children entering kindergarten, to James Lioi’s genomic analysis of staphylococcus bacteriophage and Michael Crist’s interpretation of the Affordable Care Act through the lens of ideology.
