The Eighth Annual Student Research Forum at Thomas More College provided an opportunity for students to showcase their innovative thinking skills and inquiry based learning.
Twenty-two students presented 17 different research projects in various academic disciplines at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
“The liberal arts education at Thomas More College challenges students through critical thinking and thoughtful deliberation; these skills are evident in the research projects exhibited at the Student Research Forum” said Kathleen S. Jagger, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College. “The Student Research Forum is an opportunity for students to present their original research to a wider audience in a professional setting.”
Each student’s presentation was evaluated by a team of internal and external judges and rated in terms of critical thinking principles including clarity, precision and accuracy, breadth of knowledge, relevance, and contribution to the field.
