麻豆原创 student symposium features research from more than 50 students

May 7, 2025

麻豆原创鈥檚 annual Student Symposium, showcasing undergraduate and graduate scholarly work across disciplines, was Wednesday, April 23, 2025.

The annual student symposium was started by Jo Young Switzer in 1999 to give students and faculty an opportunity to collaborate on research and scholarship. It continues to be one of Manchester’s most significant campus events, offering high-quality presentations showcasing student work.

This year, 58students from 11 different academic fields presented at the symposium. The keynote speaker was senior Emily Burdick, who presented her research on the drug RITA (or reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis) and its potential as a cancer prevention mechanism. Earlier this semester, Burdick also presented her research at the annual Indiana Academy of Science Conference in Indianapolis, where she placed first in the Emerging Scientist Research Poster Competition.

鈥淭he Student Symposium is a time to recognize the scholarly achievements of our students,鈥漵aid Jennifer Robison, chair of the Student Symposium Committee. 鈥淥ur students are doing amazing, often ground-breaking, work in their respective disciplines and it is important for us as a community to recognize and celebrate this with them.鈥
