Unique @ Whitman Whitman Undergraduate Conference Not only will you do research, you’ll get practice presenting your knowledge and findings. Each spring, the Whitman Undergraduate Conference showcases work sparked by student-faculty research, course study, senior theses, independent projects, fellowships, internships and study abroad experiences.* *No classes are held that day so everyone can attend. 012 | FIND YOUR FOCUS
STUDENT-FACULTY RESEARCH Do work that matters When great learning happens outside the classroom. At Whitman, you’ll learn from and work closely with your professors—all of them dedicated to teaching and furthering their areas of expertise. Many Whitties, across majors, work side by side with faculty in labs and on research projects. They publish in journals, present at national conferences and build professional networks—before they even graduate. Pro under experience, even as an grad! Be part of science, history & a better world Here are just a few examples of how Whitman students are working closely with their expert professors—unique and valuable opportunities found here: Art History: Curate and study maps and artifacts to tell the complex evolution of India’s history. Biology: Care for Whitman’s resident snakes and advance scientific knowledge of herpetology, snakes and snakebite risk in Africa. Chemistry: Research drugs to improve treatments for people with cancer, use a robot to create silver nanocrystals, or practice “green chemistry” looking for alternatives to methods and materials that aren’t environmentally friendly. Dance: Teach hip-hop education and culture in local middle and high schools. French & Francophone Studies: Document Métis (Indigenous and European mixed race) families living in the Northwest in the 1800s and 1900s and curate their photos and stories. Geology: Do field study in Yellowstone National Park or use state-of-the-art imaging to understand volcanic samples. Physics: Research dark matter and how it interacts with neutron stars and how it has affected the history of the universe. Psychology: Study how baby songbirds learn songs in the lab and how their cognition relates to human learning. Sociology-Environmental Science & Computer Science: Work collaboratively to create a database on chemical governance to increase accountability and awareness about toxic chemicals. WHITMAN.EDU | 013
