Summer Study Seventy-six Albion students are conducting original research on campus this summer under the auspices of the College's Foundation for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (FURSCA). Among them is Amanda Dobkowski '03, who is seen below mixing glazes at the ceramics annex building for her study of the techniques used for producing the ceramic art of Majolica.  The students, all of whom have received FURSCA fellowships or support through externally funded research grants, work closely with a faculty mentor and also participate in weekly seminars to discuss their research. They represent 19 different academic departments, institutes, or programs. The diverse topics they are studying include: the role of music in the cultural renaissance of French-speaking Louisiana; the lateral distribution and morphology of Eocene turtles in the Green River Basin, Wyoming; a study of the lives, literature and language of the Scottish Chaucerians; an exploration of women's lives through poetry; characterization of microbial communities in the local aquatic habitats; a study of acne treatment in relation to stress, self-esteem, body image and development; and computer representation and generation of three-dimensional virtual worlds.
