Science @ St. Kate's Day 2007
 The fourth year of Science @ St. Kate's Day was held Tuesday, May 1, 2007 from 11:30-1:30. This lively poster display exhibits the range of research that St. Kate’s students conduct in collaboration with their professors and their peers.
Faculty:
- Encourage your class to display posters about class projects on library or laboratory research
- Highlight your own research through a poster or by displaying your recently published works
- Create an informative poster about your department
- Please include this event on your Spring '08 syllabus
Students:
- Highlight your individual and collaborative research with a poster
- Suggest class poster displays to your teachers
- Come by on April 29 to support your friends and learn about their exciting projects!
In 2007 students displayed over 25 posters and sculptures in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. About 150 people visited the posters and discussed the projects with the student researchers. The event provides St. Kate’s students with the opportunity to dialogue with the scientific and non-scientific community about the work they are doing at St. Kate’s, and serve as representatives for the thriving intellectual life at the College of St. Catherine.
