Sophomore Honors The Anne Gary Pannell Merit Scholarship is a competitive award that provides top students of exceptional initiative and ability with an opportunity to explore an area of interest more fully during their sophomore year. Eligible students are invited to submit proposals for scholarly projects, research, creative endeavors, travel for academic purposes or service. Students awarded the scholarship receive a merit award applied to Sweet Briar College tuition as well as funds to support the proposed project.

Spencer Beall How do you judge the value of art and how do you manage procuring and making sure rights are insured for the owner of the artwork? What if that owner is a country that acquired work during war? researching case law and forming an interpretation will provide better understanding of the difficulties. Frankie Beyer and Bri Kaak What is the culture and history of Spain’s Catalonia region? How will a progressive ride on horseback through the countryside provide new and challenging perspectives? The Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of rosas, the Pyrenees, villages and historic landmarks will all be part of the experience. Brieanah Schwartz on Cumberland island, Ga., there are wild horses. are they invasive and harmful or native and a valued part of the ecosystem? What is the history of these horses and how can the National Park Service be informed with further study? a major portion of the research involves photography as a way to capture the natural environment and habits of the horses. Megan Salazar organizing, transcribing and working with the Fletcher Williams Collection at the Sweet Briar library in order to bring the several boxes of documents and photos up to modern archival standards. Amanda Wager Exploring career options in chemistry, visiting different types of laboratories to find out more about the different areas of chemistry, including inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and organic chemistry. What are the career options in the field? Lilian Tauber What are the causes of the current popular uprisings in the Middle East and how might we understand them? Starting with the “Jasmine revolution” in Tunisia to the present, what are the historical factors and transnational interests? Has technology directly influenced it? Anna Richards in Ethiopia there are approximately 1.5 million blind people, many due to malnutrition and glaucoma. How can their lives be improved through education, awareness and a center specifically for their needs? richards’ experience and research will be enhanced through volunteering with Door of Hope Ethio: Ministry for the Blind. (NoT PiCTUrED) Amanda Johnson The scattering of light by particles is a thoroughly researched subject. However, recent discoveries have suggested the importance of a phenomenon during scattering that had long been assumed to be extremely weak at optical frequencies. it was previously believed that magnetic contributions from light scattering could be ignored, but research from the past few years has shown that it can actually be quite strong. What can we learn from this and the effects of light power and the intensity on this “optical magnetism?” Katlyn Fleming learning more on molecular modeling using software to construct and study a model of a CoX-ii inhibitor. How do small effector molecules recognize and bind to larger molecules? How is modeling used in modern chemistry research and is it an area to pursue for graduate studies and/or a career?
