Student researchers honored for their work on diversity issues

“We are at an important time in our evolution as a nation,” Provost Joe Whitehead told those gathered for the presentation of awards from the 2019 Undergraduate Symposium on Diversity: Opportunities and Challenges for the Inclusion of Diversity in Higher Education and Society. “Division is sowed from lack of knowledge.”

The research projects undertaken by student participants in the annual symposium advanced knowledge and understanding of a number of topics related to diversity. Working with faculty mentors on either class or individual projects, their work aimed to break barriers and promote understanding.

The winners of the symposium were honored April 10 at a ceremony hosted by the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (CURS), which organizes the symposium and provides support for students to engage in hands-on learning activities.

“I am every year thoroughly impressed by the quality of the projects presented by these students on a wide range of topics related to diversity, and this year was no exception,” said Dr. Cordula Mora, CURS director. “I have no doubt in my mind that these students will make a difference in the lives of others and leave our society a better place than they found it.”

Presented with original glass sculptures were Angelica Euseary, a senior majoring in journalism; Jadin Fields, a senior dietetics major; Mikayla Fitzpatrick, a first-year student majoring in ethnic studies with a minor in women’s, gender and sexuality studies; and Meghan McKinley, a third-year student also majoring in ethnic studies with a minor in women’s, gender and sexuality studies.
