Dr. Mac Williams, an assistant professor of Spanish at Coker, took the initiative to organize an undergraduate research conference in the Humanities and this conference is being presented for the first time on Saturday, February 21, 2009. In the Selling Hartsville campaign of which I have been a part, we suggest that around Hartsville you should "Expect Pleasant Surprises." This research conference is one of those pleasant surprises for both Hartsville and Coker. Dr. Williams is hoping that he piques some increased interest among undergraduates for pursuing more in-depth research and this conference is one of the tactics to make it happen. Check out the schedule below and you might even see a couple of things you want to know more about.

So, not long after Iposted the announcement of the Research Conference on the Humanities that is being held at Coker word came down that a few Coker students had made presentations of their research earlier this week in another South Carolina conference.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to these students for the recognition of their work with a presentation opportunity. IPrashant and Sara were in my Com 101 classes and I am counting on them having made a great deal of eye contact with their audiences during their presentations.
The Dean’s Office proudly announces that yesterday, the following students gave oral presentations of their research projects at the 2009 SCICU Undergraduate Student/Faculty Research Symposium held in Greer, SC.
They were accompanied by Drs. Pramod Chopade and Gordon Brown.
