There were 41 posters this year, with presentations being made by students from all five of the College’s schools. Eighteen majors and two free-standing minors were represented, with project topics ranging from “The Sound of Cuban Culture” and “Slaves to a Culture: An Analysis of the Treatment and Welfare of India’s Captive Elephants” to “Building a User-Friendly Android Application to Aid Bird Identification in the Field,” “The Virtual Closet – For Homes of the 21^st Century: New Product Development,” and “Italian Expatriate Poetry in Latin America.” This was a juried event and each poster was recommended by the convening group of the major or minor associated with the project.
