We are delighted to welcome you to the 15th Annual College of Idaho Student Research Conference and its inaugural website presentation. Here students from a range of disciplines share their scholarly and creative accomplishments. While this digital format is not what we had planned (or hoped) for, we are excited about the opportunity to share a variety of exciting student research projects and an art exhibition. Additionally, we are pleased that these posters, presentations, and art will continue to be available and inspire others beyond a one-day conference. We know that sciences and the arts are instrumental in getting our society through the various aspects of the current Pandemic and we are so proud of the contributions made by our students in these areas.
This year, the Student Research Conference program includes 16 recorded presentations, 15 digital posters, and a digital art exhibition. In total, the conference will feature 47 different student authors, with submissions from Psychology, Biology, Spanish, International Political Economy, Business, English, Health and Human Promotion, Art, Chemistry, Math, Education, History, and Physics.
The Student Research Conference is possible because of the support of the administration, staff, faculty and the SRC planning committee. This year, the College's Information Technology Department played an essential role in supporting the conference. We particularly want to thank John Britschgi and Alan Price for their efforts. However, none of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of the presenting students. We find their creativity, curiosity, and perseverance inspiring and think you will as well. Many of these presentations are the culmination of a year or more of work. We are pleased to highlight the vast range of student research and creativity happening at the College of Idaho.
Thank you for taking the time to review these students' important work and to recognize and celebrate the value of research, scholarship, and creative work in our liberal arts tradition at the annual College of Idaho Student Research Conference.
On behalf of the Student Research Conference planning committee,
Jen Wallin-Ruschman, Ph.D.
