Jackson Scholars Program Presentations

Earlier this year we featured an interview with Jackson Scholar candidate, Stephen Babendreier (that story here).  Now you have to chance to hear all of our Jackson Scholar candidates present their theses on a range of topics.   Each presentation takes place in the The Heights living room, begins at 3:30pm, and will be followed by questions from a panel of faculty members and then from the audience.  All are welcome!
