Andrew Silverman is speaking on “Women Under Fascism.”
Amber Johnston has explored “Changing Views of Mental Illness in Fiji.” Michael
Lewis has researched the effects of reduced pH on the response to alarm signals in fathead
minnows. Jennifer Chick will discuss her chemistry research in “Stereoselective
Addition of Chiral Titanium Enolates to Imines Mediated by Titanium Tetrachloride.” A
few hours later, she will perform a dance piece, “Virtual Insanity,” which she
choreographed.

Those are some of the more than 200 stories to be told Friday and Saturday at the ninth
annual Steinmetz Symposium, the College's showcase of student creative, scholarly and
research achievement.

For the first time, classes are cancelled all day Friday (instead of just the
afternoon) for the Steinmetz Symposium. “We have been struck by how crowded the
timing was with everything jammed into just the afternoon,” said Bradley Lewis,
associate dean for undergraduate education. “We believed that (the full day) would
offer more opportunity for faculty, students and parents to see more of the most
interesting stuff that we do.”

The poster sessions and performances by the Jazz Ensemble will be moved to Saturday (at
11 and 11:30 a.m. respectively) to precede the Prize Day ceremony at 1:30 p.m.

For the first time, the Steinmetz Symposium, Prize Day and related events are part of a
special Parents' Weekend dedicated to the recognition of student achievement.

Times and locations of sessions are listed on this page and on the College's main
Web site.

Program books, with a complete schedule and abstracts, will be available throughout the
presentation areas.
