Cedar Crest Seniors Attend Northeast Regional Honors Conference

The Cedar Crest College Honors Program is proud to acknowledge the accomplishments of its seniors who recently attended the Northeast Regional Honors Conference in Pittsburgh. The conference theme was Building Resilience from Tragedy: Understanding Hate, Violence, Loss, & Reconciliation, and this was reflected throughout all of the conference events: the Pittsburgh history tours (e.g., Cathedral of Learning), author talk (Brian Broome "Punch Me Up to the Gods"), Keynote Speech (columnist and feature writer Tony Norman), and intellectually engaging research presentations by students from Honors colleges throughout the northeast.

Oral Presentations given by Cedar Crest College students:

Megan Dunkle (research mentor: Larry Quarino): The Importance of Bodily Fluid Identification in a Court of Law

Patsy Holtz (research mentor: Audrey Ettinger): Resilience in the Face of Controversy: Using Rocio ostofasciata Stem Cells to Study Antidepressant Induced Neurogenesis

Khoula Jaber (research mentors: K. Joy Karnas, Rich Kliman, Josh Harrington): Modeling Bacterial Resilience: Simulation of Environmental Antibiotic Exposure to Substantiate the Predictive Power of Mathematical Models
