Approximately 50 students and faculty from the social sciences and humanities recently completed collaborative research experiences. The research teams worked together over the summer on a wide variety of topics ranging from balance improvement in the elderly using video games to Piers Plowman and cognitive literary theory. In an effort to create a common culture of scholarship the teams took part in weekly luncheons during which one or two of the groups would describe their work. Some of the students were also housed together for the summer and provided with office space so they could more easily share their research experiences. Professor Curtis Gruenler of the Department of English coordinated the program, which was funded through grants from the Nyenhuis Summer Student-Faculty Collaborative Research Fund, the Frost Center, the CrossRoads Program, and the Deans of both Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences.
