Our second annual Summer Faculty Scholars Celebration brought faculty and students together to share findings, ask questions, and see research in action. 5 faculty research projects. 5 very different questions. Plenty of connections.
A great afternoon of scholarship at SNHS!
We literally jump for joy for our students!
Health Sciences major and summer researcher Lucia West '29 had quite the cheering section at the Friar Invitational, including Drs. Matt (📸) and Brett Ely.
Researcher. Student-athlete. Friar. Our students really do it all. 🏃♀️
