Students of Buffalo State College will get a chance to get their work recognized by fellow students, faculty and the administration April 29 and 30 at the Seventh Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration.

Undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of majors will present their research and creative projects in Butler Library.

Assistant professor Susan Keller-Mathers of the creative studies department, who is coordinating the department’s presenters, believes the event is one of a kind and is a great way for students to receive recognition.

“Here is an event that allows us to celebrate the great things that are happening here (BSC),” says Keller-Mathers.

Presentations range from students reading thesis papers, giving talks and preparing posters to art presentations and musical performances.

Coordinator Jill Singer, professor of earth science in the science department, said the event is a great experience for students, preparing them for further education or the job market.

Some of this year’s presentations include:
• How school teachers use creative problem solving in classes: a research project.
• A comparative analysis between the United States and the main ethnic groups in Singapore.

The deadlines for submitting an application for this year’s celebration has already passed but those who wish to join the festivities next year can visit the undergraduate research Web site for information about future celebrations.
