Virtual MARCUS conference to highlight work of undergraduate researchers

A group of Randolph students will be discussing their summer research during the 22nd Mid-Atlantic Conference of Undergraduate Scholarship (MARCUS) this weekend.

A celebration of student excellence that shows off research from a diversity of disciplines, MARCUS features oral presentations, narrated posters, and elevator speeches by more than 60 student speakers from across the United States.

Josh Buvalko ’22, Dagim Desta ’23, Hannah Edwards ’22, Sabrina Johnson ’21, Jdody Misidor ’21, Renee Sarpong ’21, and Zoe Waring ’22 will participate in the event, which is being held virtually this year.

Presentations are available to preview now at http://marcus.go.randolphcollege.edu. Q&A interactive sessions with the students will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Each video will have a space where viewers can offer feedback and ask questions during that time.

The presentations will remain up on the site until 5 p.m. Oct. 30.

MARCUS, which emphasizes the intersection of disciplines across the liberal arts spectrum, was founded and hosted by Sweet Briar College from 1999-2018. Randolph served as host in 2015 and has hosted the event since 2019.
