Summer Scholar Program 2009

It’s summertime at Denison University—the quads and halls echo with discovery, creativity, and congeniality. The Summer Scholars Program represents Denison’s commitment to inquiry, collaboration, and hands-on learning. The program’s success is based as much on students’ scholarly ambition and professors’ dedication as it is on the generosity of those whose financial support provides stipends for the participants. Each summer, more than 100 students work with professors across the curriculum on original research and artistic endeavors. And many of these projects result in published papers, conference presentations, performances, and exhibits later in the year. The videos presented here provide a closer look at some of the research conducted during the summer of 2009.
