\n\n\tF<\/span>rom the social sciences to the natural sciences, Hollins student researchers are getting noticed and gaining applause for their work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with Professor of Political Science Edward Lynch, Kayla Richardson \u201924 spent last summer immersed in researching Catholic social thought and free market theory as one of just 12 students selected for Hollins\u2019 Summer Fellowship Program. Their study resulted in a paper that the two presented at the annual conference of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe praise was universal,\u201d said Lynch. \u201cOne participant, who runs a theology program at Franciscan University, said it was the best presentation she had ever heard. Another was convinced, from the quality of her presentation and her knowledge, that Kayla was a grad student and was shocked to learn she\u2019s a sophomore undergrad. The experience confirms something I\u2019ve said many times: When Hollins students bring their \u2018A Game,\u2019 they stun the world. We have a high degree of faith in our students\u2019 abilities, and based on what I\u2019ve heard from my counterparts, the intellectual bonds formed between faculty and students at Hollins are almost unique in higher education.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\tT<\/span>wo research projects conducted by three Hollins chemistry majors were recognized at the Virginia Academy of Science Fall Undergraduate Research Meeting.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Megan Brown \u201923, Nupur Sehgal \u201923, and Tram Nguyen \u201924 earned the event\u2019s top award in the Medicine category ($750 in research funding) for \u201cLet\u2019s Go Fishing: Catching Cysteine-Containing Proteins in Cytoplasmic Pools.\u201d They also received honorable mention in the same category for \u201cC-glycosylation Through Reductive Halide Atom Transfer Reaction with Photo-Irradiation.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The three students are all enrolled in a research lab taught by Assistant Professor of Chemistry Son Nguyen. \u201cI am so proud of Megan, Nupur, and Tram, and am lucky to have them in the research lab,\u201d he said. \u201cThey work very hard and very productively.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nguyen and the three students also presented at the national American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego in March.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
