Run by the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR), the STRONG Scholars Program provides first-year students with specialized mentoring and resources to help them adapt to and thrive in their STEM journey. As her first research endeavor, Shende spent her first-year winter term in a computational astrophysics lab with Professor Jillian Scudder.</p><p>Soon after, Shende earned a research role with XR Access, a Cornell Tech initiative that aims to make virtual reality programs more accessible for people with disabilities. There, she found a deeper sense of purpose in the human impact of her work.</p><p>Shende continued her journey as a computer science researcher during her second year, where she clarified her interest in making technologies such as AI more accessible across sectors. One of her projects was designing a generative AI program to make visual art more accessible to blind and low vision (BLV) users, which led her to publish a paper and present at the 2024 AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence.</p><p>At 91ֱ��, where she’s majoring in <a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/computer-science">computer science</a> and <a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/mathematics">mathematics</a>, Shende is active in the undergraduate research community. She joined BRANCHES as a community leader, helping to create inclusive programming and support networks for STEM students. She later became a research ambassador for OUR, guiding students as they entered the undergraduate research space.</p><p>Shende also utilized resources from the <a href="/career">Career Exploration and Development (CED) office</a> to expand her understanding of technology from policy and economic viewpoints. She worked with the U.S. State Department’s Diplomacy Lab and served as a student delegate to the Athens Democracy Forum, examining AI and other technologies from the perspective of governance and public policy.</p><p>In addition, Shende volunteers at the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio, where she supports adult learners navigating barriers such as childcare and technology access. “I am building a provider–service database and prototyping a web platform and Large Language Model-based assistant that guides learners toward appropriate programs and enables smoother, more accountable handoffs.”</p><p>Shende was selected as a Goldwater Scholar and spent last summer at the MIT Summer Research Program in the Media Lab. “Altogether, my CELA experiences have grounded my academic journey in purpose, equity, and community. They shaped the researcher I am now and the one I hope to become as I move into graduate study and work at the intersection of technology, policy, and society.”</p><p>Shende is a nominee for the CELA Award, recognizing outstanding engagement and achievement in connecting academic pursuits with experiential learning.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-subhead field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Computer science and math major Tanisha Shende ’26 combines high-level AI research with global policy to create equitable technology.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2026-03-23T12:00:00Z">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">By Kate Martin ’26</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3846">Engaged Liberal Arts</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2358">Undergraduate Research</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2381">Bonner Center</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4080">Fellowships</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4153">Computer Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4150">Mathematics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/computer-science" hreflang="und">Computer Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/mathematics" hreflang="und">Mathematics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones ’97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-article-header field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">0</div> </article> <article> <h1>Finding Confidence and Community Through 91ֱ��’s Bonner Scholars Program</h1> <p>kviancou — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:05:03 +0000</p> <span>Finding Confidence and Community Through 91ֱ��’s Bonner Scholars Program</span> <span><span>kviancou</span></span> <span><time datetime="2026-03-23T13:05:03-04:00" title="Monday, March 23, 2026 - 13:05">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 13:05</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Erica Vu ’26 credits the <a href="/bcsl/programs/bonner-scholars">Bonner Scholars Program</a> within the <a href="/center-engaged-liberal-arts">Center for Engaged Liberal Arts (CELA)</a> with helping her find her confidence, her community, and her sense of purpose at 91ֱ��.</p><p>As a Bonner Scholar, Vu has taken on a wide range of volunteer projects and leadership roles while at 91ֱ��. Since her first semester, she has committed much of her time to the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra (NOYO). There, she learned the behind-the-scenes logistics of orchestral performances and eventually took on a new role as a production assistant. “While it was a lot of work, I saw that I have the potential to be a leader and that I am a valued asset to my work environment,” she says.</p><p>Vu also spent a summer working as a camp counselor at the Teen Action Support Center in Northwest Arkansas. “I worked with a team of social work graduate students to provide a free summer program for teens ages 13-17 within the probation system, allowing them to gain new, enriching experiences,” she says. 91ֱ��’s <a href="/career">Career Exploration and Development (CED) office</a> helped her fine-tune her resume, draft a cover letter, and prepare for her interview as she pursued this role.</p><p>Seeking an opportunity beyond the Bonner Program, Vu applied for funding through CED’s <a href="/career/set/internship-plus">Internship+ Program</a> to volunteer with 91ֱ��’s Legion Garden. With that support, she spent a summer living on campus and volunteering full time at the garden.</p><p>Vu is also deeply involved in 91ֱ��’s undergraduate research community. A mathematics major, she conducts research on campus and serves on the <a href="/clear/tutoring/branches-community-leaders">BRANCHES</a> team, helping to plan inclusive events that connect STEM students with research and career opportunities. She also serves on the Bonner leadership team. “My college adventure would not have been as fulfilling without the community that I was introduced to as a Bonner.”</p><p>Vu continues to volunteer at NOYO as the production assistant manager and checks in often with her friends at Legion Garden.

The OSURF program is now known as the <a href="/oberlin-summer-research-institute-fellowship">91ֱ�� Summer Research Institute Fellowship</a>. As an OSURF fellow, Xie dedicated additional time to research in a lab mentored by Professor Will Parsons. That summer, she honed and diversified her skills in the laboratory and beyond. “I learned many new research techniques through this project, but I also improved my skills in other areas such as reading scientific literature and preparing presentations.”</p><p>Xie’s success in the OSURF program motivated her to apply for the Goldwater Scholarship after receiving a nomination from 91ֱ��. In applying, she reflected more deeply on her goals and found that guidance from the <a href="/fellowships">Fellowships Office</a> strengthened her materials. ”I had come into 91ֱ�� wanting to pursue a PhD, but it had been more of a distant goal,” she says. ”Applying for the Goldwater Scholarship helped cement that goal into something more definitive and made me think about my future career plans after graduate school.”</p><p>Xie later applied to and was accepted into the Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Emory University. “At Emory, I was mentored by a graduate student and conducted chemical biology research,” she says. “Experiencing research at an R1 institution and seeing what a graduate student’s life is like further solidified my desire to go to graduate school.”</p><p>Each of these undergraduate experiences, facilitated by CELA and its offices and programs, has helped Xie develop a clear vision for her future. After graduating from 91ֱ��, she plans to pursue a PhD in chemistry and become a pharmaceutical research scientist.</p><p>Xie is a nominee for the CELA Award, recognizing outstanding engagement and achievement in connecting academic pursuits with experiential learning.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-subhead field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Through lab research, fellowships, and national scholarships, Alex Xie ’26 is preparing for a PhD and a future in science.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2026-03-23T12:00:00Z">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">By Kate Martin ’26</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3846">Engaged Liberal Arts</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2358">Undergraduate Research</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4080">Fellowships</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4265">Biochemistry</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/chemistry-biochemistry" hreflang="und">Chemistry and Biochemistry</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones ’97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-article-header field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">0</div> </article> <article> <h1>From Capitol Hill to Mellon Mays: A Journey in Engaged Scholarship</h1> <p>kviancou — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:52:57 +0000</p> <span>From Capitol Hill to Mellon Mays: A Journey in Engaged Scholarship</span> <span><span>kviancou</span></span> <span><time datetime="2026-03-23T12:52:57-04:00" title="Monday, March 23, 2026 - 12:52">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 12:52</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>With guidance and resources from the <a href="/center-engaged-liberal-arts">Center for Engaged Liberal Arts (CELA)</a>, Aina Tasso ’27 has drawn meaningful connections between her coursework and community engagement, learning how best to serve the causes that matter most to her.</p><p>Before coming to 91ֱ��, Tasso was selected for the <a href="/bcsl/programs/bonner-scholars">Bonner Scholars Program</a>, 91ֱ��’s community service scholarship program that mentors undergraduate students as they develop as leaders and agents of change in their communities and beyond. As a Bonner Scholar, Tasso volunteered with the 91ֱ�� City School District through the America Reads/Counts Program, tutoring students in grades K–9 in math. She also worked with the El Centro Volunteer Initiative, which connects 91ֱ�� students, faculty, and community members with Latine residents in Lorain County through community engagement and educational outreach.</p><p>Tasso later continued her commitment to service through a <a href="/career/set/wt">winter term micro-internship</a> in the U.S. Congress, where she advocated for Somali refugees in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District. Another winter term micro-internship took her to Medellín, Colombia, where she studied peace processes and justice through sustainability initiatives.</p><p>Wanting to dive deeper into her coursework on the experiences of Afro-Latine women in higher education, Tasso applied to the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program. Mellon Mays fellows receive two years of close mentorship to pursue research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Tasso’s project focuses on raising awareness and education about the Afro-Peruvian community.</p><p>Through her combined coursework, service, and research, Tasso has grown to understand the value of co-curricular experiences as she prepares for a life and career in community stewardship. “While having access to knowledge on a wide variety of topics is enriching, being able to apply them in a tangible way allows me to see the impact of a well-rounded education,” she says. “My time at 91ֱ�� and my engagement with different CELA offices have also made me realize that theory without application does nothing, but action without information can harm the people you are working with.</p><p>“The opportunities I have gotten through CELA have allowed me to see the real-world applications of theories I’ve learned in various classes,” she adds. “These experiences not only allow me to build upon and improve my skills, but also to contribute meaningfully to the organizations that I am a part of.”</p><p>After 91ֱ��, Tasso, who has a double major in <a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/law-and-society">law and society </a>and <a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/hispanic-studies">Hispanic studies</a>, plans to pursue a PhD and continue engaging with social issues as both an academic and a public servant.</p><p>Tasso is a nominee for the CELA Award, recognizing outstanding engagement and achievement in connecting academic pursuits with experiential learning.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-subhead field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Blending community-based service, international experiential learning, and Mellon Mays research, Aina Tasso ’27 is building a future rooted in scholarship and community engagement.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2026-03-23T12:00:00Z">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">By Kate Martin ’26</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3846">Engaged Liberal Arts</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2381">Bonner Center</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2402">Winter Term</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2376">Study Away</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2358">Undergraduate Research</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/law-and-society" hreflang="und">Law and Society</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/hispanic-studies" hreflang="und">Hispanic Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones ’97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-article-header field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">0</div> </article> <article> <h1>Connecting Hawaiian Identity and Global Advocacy</h1> <p>kviancou — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:39:16 +0000</p> <span>Connecting Hawaiian Identity and Global Advocacy</span> <span><span>kviancou</span></span> <span><time datetime="2026-03-23T11:39:16-04:00" title="Monday, March 23, 2026 - 11:39">Mon, 03/23/2026 - 11:39</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Through her work with 91ֱ��'s <a href="/center-engaged-liberal-arts">Center for Engaged Liberal Arts (CELA)</a>, Isabel Handa ’26 has bridged her Hawaiian identity with her academic and research pursuits.</p><p>Handa began her undergraduate research journey after being awarded a <a href="/undergraduate-research/programs/mmuf">Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF)</a>.

Now, beginning in summer 2025, the program will offer exciting new opportunities. The original idea for the program stemmed from Professor Emeritus of Biology Yolanda Cruz, who had the desire to bring together a community of researchers over the summer. Over the past years, OSRI has evolved into an immersive, intensive, faculty-mentored research experience—and that research spans across many disciplines.</p> <p>The program lasts eight weeks, and can look different ways for each student, depending on the style of their project. They might be in a research lab, working on faculty research. Or, they could be working on their own research project, but still being guided by a faculty member. Each week, all students come together for workshops about research themes, professional development, and more. At the end of the program, OSRI hosts a research symposium where students can present their work and hear about others’ projects. </p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>Photo credit: Dae Williams ’20</figcaption> </figure> <p>“It's a super supportive community and very interdisciplinary. It's an exciting space to learn from one another, and to learn to communicate your research to folks across different disciplines,” says <a href="/node/49256">Abby Aresty, interim director of Inclusive Excellence in STEM Pedagogy and Undergraduate Research</a>.</p> <p>OSRI is not just limited to STEM subjects, which is what one often associates with the concept of research. Rather, it has long had a commitment to supporting a diversity of projects across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Projects can range anywhere from critically evaluating AI-produced survey content to investigating and problematizing the historically white racial frame of music theory and classical music. </p> <p>The integral aspect of the updated OSRI experience is a new collaboration with <a href="/node/4521">Career Exploration & Development (CED)</a>. This partnership will allow rising third- and fourth-year students to apply for an OSRI Fellowship for on-campus research; if their application is successful, <a href="/node/460136">Internship+</a> funds will be allocated to support their OSRI experience. What this means is that 91ֱ�� is increasing the funding available for students to participate in summer research on campus. This, in turn, increases not only the general capacity of the program, but the ability to support students at a wider variety of stages in their research. </p> <p>“Some may be starting out as an assistant on a research project,” Aresty explains. “Other people may be working towards their honors project, or thinking about applying for Research Fulbright. We're making the programming more targeted and flexible. We will have opportunities for research foundations workshops for folks who are earlier in their journey, but we will also have programming and space for advanced students to come together to learn from one another. We are designing the program in a way that is conducive to everybody's individual research journey.”</p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-left"> <figcaption>Photo credit: Lucy Curtis ’24</figcaption> </figure> <p>Research at 91ֱ�� is a unique and special experience, set apart from others for a few reasons. Undergraduate students often work on graduate-level research, tackling real-world issues with their faculty mentors. </p> <p>“Students are working on research questions that may shape the trajectory of their careers,” Aresty says. “Because of our outstanding faculty mentors, they have both a lot of support and agency in this process.” </p> <p>As a campus, 91ֱ�� is creative, engaged, and community-focused. This overall character permeates into the research world, and leads to a vibrancy amongst students and their various projects. </p> <p>“I deeply cherish and value the opportunity to conduct research here, as it has provided me with invaluable connections, essential skills, and remarkable personal growth,” Andrea Romero ’27 reflects on her research experience. “This experience makes me feel truly alive and constantly grateful to be part of such a wonderful community and to explore another world through the lens of a microscope.” </p> <p>By collaborating with CED and expanding OSRI, <a href="/node/4236">91ֱ�� Undergraduate Research</a> will be even better able to meet the demand of students wanting a summer research opportunity.</p> <p>“We are excited about our expanded capacity since it will allow us to better support 91ֱ�� students working across disciplines and at different phases in their research journey,” Aresty says of the new program developments. </p> <p> </p> <hr> <p><em>Want to pursue your own summer research? <a href="/node/478948">Apply to OSRI</a>, and learn more about <a href="/node/460136">Internship+</a> funding opportunities.</em></p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2025-01-17T12:00:00Z">Fri, 01/17/2025 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Lucy Curtis ’24</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2358">Undergraduate Research</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=4097">Internship+ Program</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2403">Career Exploration & Development</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-faculty field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/abby-aresty" hreflang="und">Abby Aresty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">A group of student researchers pose outside the Science Center.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Dae Williams ’20</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Ava Harvey ’26 Earns Leadership Alliance Summer Research Fellowship</h1> <p>azaleski — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 21:12:01 +0000</p> <span>Ava Harvey ’26 Earns Leadership Alliance Summer Research Fellowship</span> <span><span>azaleski</span></span> <span><time datetime="2024-07-31T17:12:01-04:00" title="Wednesday, July 31, 2024 - 17:12">Wed, 07/31/2024 - 17:12</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Ava Harvey ’26 received a <a href="https://theleadershipalliance.org/summer-research-early-identification-program" target="_blank">Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) Fellowship from the Leadership Alliance</a>.

Specifically, I hope to explore how the Third Reich misappropriated the <em>Germania</em> to generate Hitler’s idea of “the master race,” and how this corrupted reading continues to influence digital age hate speech and white supremacy in online chat rooms and forums.<br> <br> By building on Christopher Krebs’ work in <em>A Most Dangerous Book</em>, which outlines how the Third Reich created a lasting doctrine of white supremacy, my research aims to show that the white supremacist doctrine created by the Third Reich using the <em>Germania</em> continues to manifest in hate speech today, coming full circle as hate groups and their leaders misappropriate Roman symbolism and literature to further messages of hate.</p> <p><strong>What sort of mentorship have your 91ֱ�� faculty mentors, <a href="/chris-trinacty" target="_blank">Professor of Classics Chris Trinacty</a> and <a href="/kirk-ormand" target="_blank">Nathan A. Greenberg Professor of Classics Kirk Ormand</a>, provided—and why has it been so valuable to you?</strong> <br> Professor Trinacty and professor Ormand are role models, mentors, and true friends. Aside from reading countless drafts of fellowship statements and refining my thesis, both have played a seminal role in cultivating my love for classics. </p> <p>Professor Trinacty’s Latin 101 class was my first class at 91ֱ�� as a first year, and both have advised me academically and personally during my time at college. As an inhabitant of the classics library, I enjoy impromptu translation at the board and morning chats in the office with my professors. <br> <br> The guidance I receive from my mentors, often on a daily basis, encouraged me to pursue this kind of fellowship, but it also spurs me to be the best student I can be every day. They have taught me that consistent practice and hard work adds up and makes opportunities like this fellowship possible. </p> <div class="obj-center"> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption>(l-r) Professor of Classics Chris Trinacty, Ava Harvey '26 and Nathan A.

The project is supported by the Michigan State University Department of Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures and the National Science Foundation and was initially begun during COVID-19 to track speech tendencies of Michigan residents during quarantine. Since then, it has evolved into a successful initiative to engage undergraduates in linguistics and linguistic research. </p> <p>As a lead research assistant on the MI Diaries Project, I taught Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)-assisted transcription and analysis to project participants, who are both undergraduate and doctoral students. I have also worked both as a student researcher and as a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) researcher on the project. From May through July 2023, I onboarded the project's NSF REU cohort, teaching transcription and analysis. This experience will support my research at the University of Chicago this summer because the misappropriation of classical texts occurs mainly in online settings dedicated to hate speech and white supremacy. </p> <p>In order to find patterns of misappropriation, it is essential to consider the effects shared language has on community. The language of hate speech has patterns, just as any other language does, and it will be critical to map these patterns before I am able to draw connections between online conversations and the ancient sources they reference. My research background in sociolinguistics and linguistics will be key to identifying these patterns and ultimately showing how classical texts have become embroiled in online hate speech.</p> <p>Researching both classics and linguistics has impacted my career goals. As someone who is interested in pursuing academia, building strong research and writing skills during undergrad is an important step toward graduate school. The opportunity to teach students from all walks of life as a research assistant at Michigan State taught me skills that will support me on this path, including time management, organization, project management, data collection, and analysis. I am excited to continue this journey by doing research in my own field this summer. </p> <p><strong>What is your favorite thing about doing research?</strong><br> I find that the research process is often as rewarding as its results. Exploring new concepts and piecing together a unique understanding of concepts that are thousands of years old in the classics world is an exciting process that lets you discover new lenses for viewing the past. </p> <p><strong>What’s the best advice you’ve received from your 91ֱ�� faculty mentors?</strong><br> “Don’t worry, it’s just Greek,” from professor Ormand, or “Practice your paradigms” from professor Trinacty. <br> <br> <strong>Activities in which you were involved at 91ֱ��: </strong>During the 2022-2023 school year, I was a peer career advisor in Law and Public Policy and a member on the Student Honor Committee, and during the fall 2023 semester I worked in the Office of Undergraduate Research as a Research Ambassador.</p> <p><em><a href="/fellowships" target="_blank">Connect with Fellowships & Awards</a> to learn more about the fellowships and awards opportunities available to students. </em></p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-subhead field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">The Greek and Latin double major will present research findings at two separate symposiums.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2024-08-08T12:00:00Z">Thu, 08/08/2024 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Office of Communications</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2373">Awards and Honors</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2358">Undergraduate Research</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/classics" hreflang="und">Classics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Professor of Classics Chris Trinacty and Ava Harvey '26.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pull-images field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yes</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-cte-images field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yes (Individual Images)</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones '97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> </main></body></html>
