Student Research
Sigma Xi's annual Student Research Poster Session
The 2017 Sigma Xi poster session took place in the Science Center Commons on Thursday, September 21 from 3:00 - 5:00 pm and on Friday, September 22 from 11:30 am - 2:00 pm. Ninety nine students who performed their research on campus and elsewhere (mostly through REU programs) presented their work. The poster session provided a ground for exciting scientific discussions and engaged the larger Swarthmore community, including high-achieving high school seniors who were visiting campus as part of the Discover Swarthmore program. The poster session program can be found here; it contains abstracts for all posters and reflects diversity in research scope of Swarthmore students summer experiences.
