Student researchers display results at the Capitol

Ryan Soukoup discussed his research with Minnesota Lt. Governor Carol Molnau.

Three SMU students, along with their faculty advisors, went to the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda on February 25 to present the results of their independent research and creative scholarship at the annual Minnesota Private College “Scholars at the Capitol” event.

Keith Fahrforth & Michelle Hermes displayed their research findings.

The event showcased current research projects completed by 34 undergraduate scholars from Minnesota private colleges and universities. Saint Mary’s students attending this year’s event included: Ryan Soukoup, presenting on “Cultural Change and the Dakota Uprising”; and Keith Fahrforth and Michelle Hermes, presenting on “The Effects of Atrazine on Pack Cell Volume, Gender and Development of Gallus Gallus.”

The MPCC hosted the event to publicize and celebrate the achievements of just a few of the many thousands of students who attend private schools of higher learning in Minnesota, and to share research that may have long-term implications for Minnesotans.
