After three years of exploring the economic and social benefits of developing sports facilities and events, Sarah Dawkins '25 presented her findings at the February conference and won the top prize for undergraduate research.

This year's conference centered around the theme of “Transitions.” Student paper topics ranged from the comparison of Gen X and Gen Z views of religion to the evolution of sexual and Christian themes in vampire films.

The conference was established in 2018 to give students from smaller institutions without the resources of major universities the opportunity to present their research and interact with students from other colleges and universities.

Students and faculty at the Elon Mathematics Department attended and presented at the MAA Southeastern Section Meeting on Feb. 27-March 1, 2025, at High Point University.

Their research was published in the journal Infant Behavior & Development, which is an international and interdisciplinary journal, publishing high-quality work on infancy.

Elon University students in the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies program, Doctor of Physical Therapy program and Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program presented their work at the Global Engagement and Research Forum on Dec. 9 in Alumni Gym.
