Nearly 300 student presenters took part in the 16th annual University of Mary Washington Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium on Friday, the last day of classes.<\/p>\n

Posters, oral presentations, creative writing \u2013 even an art exhibit and play \u2013 represented a year\u2019s worth of work in science and math, education and business, history and foreign language, and everything in between. Students, faculty and staff, proud family members and friends gathered in the Hurley Convergence Center and other spaces throughout campus to share and discuss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for students to see our peers doing amazing work,\u201d said senior Keegan Fredrick, a political science major. \u201cIt provides an avenue for students to share what we\u2019ve been working on for all these months.\u201d<\/p>\n

When senior Katherine Connor asked who in the audience remembered reading an LGBTQ+ book in elementary school, no one spoke up. Her research, \u201cStrangers Like Me: Evaluating and Selecting LGBTQ+ Children\u2019s Literature,\u201d aims to improve those results.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my hope that in the future everyone in this room would be able to raise their hand,\u201d said Connor, who examined the notion that teachers\u2019 inability to discuss diverse sexual identities could lead to negative effects for LGBTQ+ students. She recruited pre-service educators to read and evaluate children\u2019s books, and created a measure to test its effect on their confidence.<\/p>\n

UMW students Mariana Haugh, Olivia Casey, Ayana Jefferson and Rogelio Santiago studied diet and memory, presenting \u201cEffects of High Sugar and High Fat Diets on BDNF in the Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex on Working Memory in Mice.\u201d They explored how eating patterns alter brain activity, using two dozen lab mice, and found noticeable \u2013 if not significant \u2013 results.<\/p>\n

This type of research targets the obesity crisis in the U.S., Haugh said, and has implications for busy college students who often struggle to eat healthy meals.<\/p>\n

Other research included a comparison of essential oils and bacterial disinfectants, the use of Arabic in emergency medicine, the role of gender in politics, and so much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was exciting to see not only that student research is back in terms of numbers of projects, but also in terms of the high quality of those projects,\u201d\u00a0said College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean Betsy Lewis.\u00a0\u201cI loved getting to interact with them as they shared the fruits of their hard work over the past year, and also witnessing the strong support and sincere interest in their work from the faculty and fellow students from across the university.\u201d<\/p>\n
