William Carey University has completed its Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 10-year reaffirmation process. Out of this process emerged a new project to improve student learning called, “Students as Researchers: An Undergraduate Research Quality Enhancement Plan.”

“The goal of our Quality Enhancement Plan is to have completed, finished research projects of varying types,” said Dr. Jalynn Roberts, director of the Office of Research and Support. “Research efforts will culminate with formal research papers, poster presentations, literary works, or performances or exhibits of original work in the arts.”

Beginning in fall 2019, a group of undergraduate students began co-curricular research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors:

  • Kiran Bist, senior math major, is researching the properties of manifold induced neural network architectures.
  • Senior history major Benjamin Brockway’s project is titled "Music and the Last Crusade: Baroque Cantatas Commemorating the Siege of Vienna, 1683.”
  • James Nelson Conley, senior chemistry major, is researching “Carbon and Nutrient Sequestration over Time in Soils Subjected to No-Till Gardening Methods.”
  • Senior English major Ashton Dodd is researching gifted education and the flipped classroom.
  • Junior biology major Shriya Pandey’s project title is “Nutritional Analysis of Produce Grown by Conventional Non-Organic, Conventional Organic and No-Till Organic Methods.”
  • Sharen Leigh Prine, senior English major, is researching the connection between art and literature and their applications in the English classroom.
  • Rhett Riley, junior history major, has titled his project “Mapping the Last Crusade: Geospatial Analysis of the Siege of Vienna, 1683."
  • Junior math major Jakolbia Shipmon is researching training methods for deep neural networks.
  • Jonathan Sircar, senior psychology major’s project is titled "Visualization of Deep Neural Networks."
  • Junior biology major Saroj Upreti’s project is called, "Four-Dimensional Hybrid Lattice Euclidean Networks for Image Analysis."
  • Senior music therapy major Jewel Lynne Shirley's project is called, "The Effects of Five-week Psycho-educational Music Therapy Training on Stress Reduction with Undergraduate College Students."
  • Senior nursing major Jennifer Robbins joined the QEP research group at the start of the winter trimester.
