Sophomore Donald Glander used solenoids to create an \u201celectric piano-guitar.\u201d First-year physics and computer science major Ryan Lawrence tapped into multi-wavelength astronomy to predict the formation of future stars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really amazing to see the variety of projects out there,\u201d said College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean Betsy Lewis, who coordinates the event, held each year on the last day of class. \u201cWe\u2019ve got projects from practically every major and department on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 400 students from the College of Arts and Sciences \u2013 and from the College of Business and the College of Education \u2013 presented the results of the scholarly research and creative endeavors they\u2019ve been cultivating, alongside faculty mentors, throughout the past academic year. A morning filled with oral presentations was followed by a poster session in the Hurley Convergence Center Digital Auditorium, where researchers showed off their studies on glossy panels, sharing their work with fellow students, professors, even the public.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2024\\\/05\\\/02\\\/research-and-creativity-symposium-showcases-array-of-student-endeavors\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px;
