Cameron Christiansen presents research at annual academic symposium

2017 Apr 20

Cameron Christiansen of Palmer, Alaska and 51 other students presented 35 academic projects from a variety of disciplines at Concordia University, Nebraska's 7th annual Academic and Research Symposium on Monday, April 10, 2017.

"The symposium is considered a high-impact experience," said faculty sponsor Dr. Sara Brady, assistant professor of psychology. "The benefits for presenters include sharing their academic accomplishments with the university and gaining experience giving a professional presentation. By completing and presenting a project at the symposium, students spend considerable time and effort on their projects, carefully design the aims of their project or experience, and reflect on their experiences under the guidance of a faculty member. Most important of all is the sense of accomplishment that presenters feel after a successful presentation. The confidence that they gain carries over to all aspects of their life."

The students presented a variety of semester or year-long projects at the symposium, including poster and oral presentations in art, biology, communication, English, education, mathematics, physics, psychology, public health, and social work.
