Throughout the summer, students, faculty, and staff are taking part in research and professional development sessions across campus. Supported by Hampden-Sydney’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity program, students are presenting their research spanning a wide range of fields, including biology, English, visual arts, economics, psychology, and philosophy. A number of faculty are also sharing their research, fostering community engagement and collaboration. At the same time, members of the College community are strengthening their professional skills through workshops focused on topics including networking, resume writing, and preparing for graduate school.
All events take place at 12 pm and are accessible via Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please contact Michael Wolyniak at mwolyniak@hsc.edu.
