Students to Celebrate Summer Research

Nearly 40 students will present their summer research findings at the annual Celebration of Summer Research on Friday, Oct. 4, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Winter Hall Atrium. The Celebration of Summer Research, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, is free and open to the public.

Students will present 19 posters representing the natural and behavioral sciences division (biology, chemistry, engineering, physics and psychology). Select titles include “How Does Diabetes Impact the Cognitive Functioning of those with Parkinson’s Disease?” “Artificial Intelligence and Engineering Design: How AI Impacts a Suite of Design Innovation Methods,” “Finding Color in Colorless Molecules” and “Lunar Rocket Landing Pad Stress Analysis.”

Westmont's classic education includes professors and students conducting research together, which provides valuable experiences that can lead to internships, jobs and rewarding careers.
