Student Research Showcase

Dr Jackson's Homepage

The Student Research Showcase is a poster display of research that has been completed at Grove City College or has been sponsored by the college. The event began in the spring of 2009 and takes place twice a year, both during Homecoming in the Fall and during Parents' Weekend in the spring. The goal of the showcase is to display this research for students, faculty, alumni, parent, family and friends to see.

The research that has been included in the Showcase includes summer research done by by Swezey Fellows, students doing research projects for a class, and less formal research collaboration during the academic year.

The first Student Research Showcase was held during Parents’ Weekend 2009 in the Atrium of the Hall of Arts and Letters. There were 19 posters representing 32 students at the event. Below are some pictures of the posters from this showcase.

A second showcase was held during Homecoming in October 2009. This showcase took place in the commuter lounge in the Breen Student Union. There were 19 posters at this event representing the work of 34 students from 10 departments.
