Last Tuesday’s High-PURCS featured poster displays for research projects produced by two former students of mine: Molly McCarver, who was enrolled in English 1103.19 in the fall semester of 2023, and Madison Kline, who was enrolled in English 1103.19 in the fall semester of 2024.
The final essays and bibliographies that you wrote for English 1103 may serve as starting points for larger projects, and I encourage you to consider pursuing those projects in upper-level courses and presenting those projects at High-PURCS as well as at undergraduate research and creative works conferences at other institutions.
If you missed High-PURCS 2025, be sure to check out next year’s symposium. Attending the poster and presentation sessions will not only provide you with ideas and inspiration for your own projects, it will also show your support for the HPU students whose research achievements are on display.
Also consider submitting your writing to Innovation, High Point University’s journal of scholarly and creative work. For more information on Innovation, contact Editor-in-Chief Justin Cook, jcook3@highpoint.edu.
