Barsy-Colgan Student Research Day 2023 Our 14th annual Barsy-Colgan Student Research Day is Friday, April 28, and is free and open to the public. Enjoy beverages and light snacks while you experience some of the fantastic research and creative projects our students have done this year with the guidance of their faculty mentors. From ways to block cancers from metastasizing to paternal bonds in Shakespeare’s plays, Wilson students have contributed to our understanding of science, medicine, art, and civilization. The student researchers will present their research in person or display it on posters in the library’s Lenfest Learning Commons and the Brooks Science Center. Seventy-five students representing multiple disciplines will present their work. See the 2023 Schedule of Events here. Louise Barsy Colgan ’80 and Sean Colgan are generously endowing student research grants and underwriting the “Barsy-Colgan Student Research Day” to honor two Wilson College alumnae—Louise Barsy Colgan and her mother, Helen Yeager “HiY” Barsy ’44. The Colgans hope their support encourages students to passionately pursue their interests and to follow the patterns of the universe’s minute and immense handiwork. Academic Awards Ceremony Each year, students from all disciplines are chosen by their professors to receive a variety of college awards based on exemplary and outstanding academic merit and achievement. An awards ceremony is held in their honor at the closing of the annual Student Research Day.
