End of Semester

So it's here already! The end of the semester is upon us, and I just want to take a minute to reflect. My students have been working really hard, and I commend them for their papers, presentations, and other original works. I think they've learned the value of teamwork, good communication, and of course, how to study! Have a productive summer to those of you that will return in the fall, and if you want to discuss internships or research projects, feel free to stop by. I'll be teaching this summer and attending some seminars and workshops. Best of luck to all graduates, and I hope you'll stay in touch during the ups and downs that are sure to come in the future. My door is always open! And my email inbox --> manderson@mtaloy.edu.

Symposium approaches!

Are you ready? April 22 at 3:30 will be the THIRD annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. The event will take place in the gym and there are 79 posters registered! Stop by to see your friends, and check out the wide variety of research being conducted by students. The topics range from science, art, social issues, and there will be cash prizes. We welcome the community and hope to see you there! If you have questions, feel free to email me at manderson@mtaloy.edu. And yes, I'll be there, I'm a mentor for three student groups from my Integrated Science class. Here's a picture of them in action! One group was testing elementary student learning at Super Science Saturday at Juniata Gap Elementary School. Another is identifying algae in Abandoned Mine Drainage.
