Randolph hosts 24th MARCUS conference

Randolph College hosted the 24th Annual Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference for Undergraduate Scholarship (MARCUS) on Oct. 22.

College students throughout Virginia and surrounding states have been attending the conference since its inception in 1999, sharing findings from research or creative projects in all disciplines. Participants present their work through a poster, oral presentation, or elevator speech.

This year, MARCUS included a keynote address, “Factors affecting migratory shorebirds and their prey during spring stopovers on Virginia’s barrier islands,” from Erin Heller, assistant professor of biology.
