Research under the rotunda
| On January 26, Temple held its annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the East Rotunda of the Pennsylvania State Capitol building in Harrisburg. The event featured 13 unique and innovative research projects by students from across several of the university’s schools and colleges and offered state legislators and other commonwealth officials an opportunity to see the innovative work of Temple undergraduates. With titles ranging from “Beyond the Screen: CouchSurfing, Travel and Community in the Postmodern Era” to “Antitumorigenic Effects of Angiocidin through Observed Activation of the NF-B Pathway and Resultant Signaling,” this year’s student projects displayed the broad range of the interests and talents of student scholars. To expand the undergraduate experience, Temple has launched a series of new research programs intended to help students apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life issues in their field of study. |
