ANNAPOLIS -- Salisbury University students presented their research to Maryland legislators and other guests during SU’s eighth annual Posters on the Bay presentation in Annapolis.
Sponsored by SU’s Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (OURCA), the event provides students with the opportunity to share their faculty-guided scholarship.
“This is an amazing event to attend,” said Dominick Lepke, an accounting major from Nottingham, MD. “My research is largely related to legislation, so being able to be here and talk to local and state politicians is absolutely amazing. It’s a great opportunity for me. Part of my goal is to turn my framework into an actual piece of legislation, so being here and being able to spread the word and talk about my goals and what I think would be best for the state and the localities within Maryland allows me to push my framework and hopefully implement it one day.”
“It’s really exciting to have this opportunity to present to policymakers and politicians who make an impact on Maryland, especially for my project that is directly related to accessibility in downtown Salisbury,” agreed Elizabeth Wash, a biology major from Waldorf, MD.
This year’s projects covered a wide variety of social, health and economic issues. SU presenters and their topics included:
“Posters on the Bay showcases the depth and high quality of the research being conducted at SU, with a focus on the stellar mentorship students receive from faculty who are experts in their fields,” said Rhyannon Bemis, OURCA director.
“Student mentorship in research and creative activity is a hallmark of the SU experience. Seeing the accomplishments of our students, all future leaders in their fields, highlights the importance of funding for regional comprehensive universities.”
SU sponsors graduate and undergraduate student research projects throughout the year through various funding sources. Those interested in research opportunities should contact Bemis at rhbemis@salisbury.edu.
