Siggy Ehrlich ’26 recently worked on and attended a �Ӱ���̳ College symposium celebrating composer Maria Theresia von Paradis.

�Ӱ���̳ College students have created an exhibit, “Cornelia and Concrete,” about alum Cornelia Clapp and the 100-year-old laboratory building that bears her name.

Two �Ӱ���̳ College students have been selected for the second round of the Beckman Scholars Program. As part of the 15-month program, students delve deeply into advanced research projects with the mentorship of a College faculty member.

�Ӱ���̳ student Ava Frost ’26 was selected by NASA for the 10-week Europa ICONS internship program that aims to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s moon that could support life.

“I talk with friends who are not �Ӱ���̳ students, and they have limited research experience. But here, I’ve done research with two advisors in two different departments.”

“Whether you're leading a project, whether you're running an experiment, whether you're working with a team, patience is very important. There are so many ways where the solution to the problem is just … seeing what the next move you can take is.”

“I remember a professor saying that studying physics is studying problem-solving, and that stuck with me. My studying hasn’t been just to memorize material but instead to teach me to ask, ‘How do I approach complex problems and come up with out-of-the-box solutions?’”

“I definitely feel like I’ve really built such a great community here. Besides my lab and my team, I have made so many friends from different classes and different events. I feel like my community is so large here.”

“�Ӱ���̳ has truly prepared me for this next step. My professional experience and coursework at the College taught me how to apply these concepts in the real world to effect change. My experience has given me the confidence to go and do that.”

“I wanted the possibility to pursue interests in a lot of different areas without feeling like I needed to choose one track. �Ӱ���̳ has given me the opportunities to do that. I’ve always felt like a whole student at �Ӱ���̳.”
