Students (pictured outside of Carver Hall) in the
Undergraduate Research Scholarship and Creative Activities summer program bonded during their three-day training workshop in May. The workshop emphasized fundamental professional skills, ranging from responsible conduct of research to publishing research, that students will use to complete their projects. Over the 12-week summer session, students are supported by the URSCA Award to complete their projects. This year's research, scholarly, and creative projects are diverse and include the cellular and molecular biology of sperm, water chemistry of the Susquehanna River, behavioral research on diet-exercise-addictive response relationships, social surveys of the Bloomsburg community, audiology and speech pathology, and a mural painting for Danville's downtown. Since the workshop, students are working closely with their faculty mentors for excellent one-on-one individualized learning experiences tailored to the interests of the students.
It's pleasure to see so many participants in scholarship programs. It's a good sign from government to increase the number of financial help programs for students from different social classes. Of course it's not easy to get there, students must write scholarship essays and convince the commision to choose them. Nowadays it's much easier to get help in scholarship writing. There are numerous courses and tests around the web. I hope this program will be useful for students.
