Key Experiences learning outside the classroom
Research Fair Spring 2024
While there is value in a student being able to share what they have learned in front of a classroom, sharing that knowledge with a room full of classmates, faculty, and community members has elevated those presentation skills to a new level.
Midland University students have the opportunity to present their findings each semester as part of the Spring and Fall Research Fair events. About 100 students participate each semester, and for the majority of them, it is part of their capstone experience.
Jamie Simpson, Chief Academic Officer, and Megan Nielsen, Dean for the Luther College of Arts & Sciences, helped get the Research Fair off the ground a dozen years ago. From its humble beginnings, the Research Fair has evolved and expanded over the years and involves many disciplines, including History, Sociology, Psychology, Communication Studies, English, Math, Biology, Youth & Family Ministry, Religion & Philosophy, and Honors students.
Speaking to a room full of strangers may not be high on a student’s priority list, but Simpson found out the significance of the Research Fair in the spring of 2020. “When Covid hit, we weren’t able to have the Research Fair in person, and students were genuinely disappointed,” she said. “This is a lot of work for them, and they are excited to be able to present their findings.
