Undergraduate Research at Meredith
Potential and Power: Adult Stem Cells in the Human Brain
Dr. Levenson is a distinguished professor, a strong advocate for women in science, and an engaging speaker. She will speak to Meredith College students about stem cell research conducted by her laboratory. Dr. Levenson will also weave a discussion of why one would consider graduate school, and about women in science into the discussion of some actual research from her laboratory. Her talk has scientific as well as ethical implications, and is of general public interest.
Tuesday, Feb 12, 2008 from 1:00 pm – 1:50 pm
Kresge Auditorium
Some people ask, "Where will my education take me?" Others ask, "Where am I taking my education?"
Undergraduate research at Meredith offers direction and support for students who are ready to be original, to push at the boundaries of the classroom and the textbook, and to connect with others who share their interests. We work with students in all disciplines and academic programs. Programs include the following:
Summer Stipend Projects
Student/faculty teams use the summer months to pursue a research or creative project in an area of common interest. The college offers a generous stipend to allow for intensive study and exploration. Check this site early in the spring semester for further details and application deadlines.
Travel Grants
A growing number of professional and academic conferences now feature the work of undergraduates. We encourage students to use these opportunities to present research and to network. The program offers up to $450 to cover travel, registration, and preparation costs for student presenters. Applications are reviewed monthly. Click here for an application form.
Research Grants
Your research may involve expenses for materials that go beyond your budget and your department is not able to provide. We consider requests for research support throughout the academic year, as long as we have funds to offer. Click here for an application form.
Celebrating Student Achievement Day
This campus-wide day of events features the results of student research, with presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, exhibitions, and performances. Applications and deadlines will be published at the Celebrating Student Achievement Day Web Site early in February.
