As the annual "Celebrating Collaborations: Students and Faculty Working Together" event approaches, 169 students and 84 faculty sponsors are gearing up for a weekend of presenting their collaborative intellectual efforts. On Saturday, April 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., students of all majors will showcase their research.
This year will be the fifth annual "Celebrating Collabor-ations." This program is sponsored by the Provost's Office, the President's Office, the Office of the College and the Louise W. and Edmund J. Kahn Liberal Arts Institute. The Admissions Office, the Campus Center staff, the Office of College Relations and a host of Smith employees also contribute their time and effort to make this event a success. Debbie Cottrell, the associate dean of faculty, explained, "One of the greatest things about Celebrating Collaborations is that it captures the exciting academic spirit at Smith and lets us see in one day a sample of the great things that go on here all year."
In past years, students have tackled complex topics like Thalia Sparling's '05 showcase of "Indigenous Transformations: Art Identities in Central America." In collaboration with professor Nancy Sternbach, Sparling created various murals, paintings and sculptures to capture the cultural of Central America throughout its history. Another student, Sarbani Hazra '05, chose to research "Acculturation and Family Environment Influences on Gender Ideology in South Asians in the United States" by interviewing South Asian women at Smith and the surrounding area colleges.
The 2006 Celebrating Collaborations will begin with morning refreshments at the Campus Center. The science poster session will run from 8:30 a.m to 10:30 p.m. on the Campus Center second floor. Two concurrent sessions of presentations will take place before and after a campus-wide lunch at Scott Gymnasium. "It is the hope that all members of Smith community and many guests will partake in the educational richness of the day," states the 2006 schedule of events.
This year, hear from Alison Pietras '07 about "How the Media Framed Children's
