Last Friday our third year students (Class of 2009) had their research day. Each student group gave a presentation highlighting the research they have been doing for the past three years. The presentations followed formats that most professional conferences do. 15 minutes of presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions from the audience. The students did a great job. It was great to see the growth of the students from three years of hard work. I truly believe that many of the students will have the chance of presenting their research on the national stage, some have already been accepted. Congratulations to all of you...very impressive.
This week is Spring Break at Rockhurst. A couple of our students and a faculty member (Jim Dronberger) took advantage of the time off to go on a service trip to Guatemala. This is one of several annual service trips that students (and faculty) at Rockhurst can participate in. Both Jim and one of the students have been on this trip previously. What an opportunity to go and serve those that are less fortunate. No matter what you are doing for your Spring Break, I hope it is enjoyable.
