Youngstown State Student Jessica Valsi of Youngstown, OH, Presents Research at QUEST

2013 Apr 9

Youngstown State University student Jessica Valsi of Youngstown, OH, made a presentation at the annual QUEST research conference on the YSU campus.

Valsi is majoring in Political Science at YSU. The presentation was titled: Declining Internet Freedom in Turkey: Turkish Nationalism and Freedom of Expression.

QUEST showcases the scholarly achievements of YSU undergraduate and graduate students. The event includes research and scholarship in all forms - scientific findings, musical scores, engineering designs and analyses, panel discussions, poetry readings, dance performances, honors and senior theses, study abroad experiences, and more.

"An entire day devoted to recognizing and celebrating student scholarship is rare," said Jeffrey Coldren, YSU director of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activities. "Unlike other universities that possess excellent research reputations based largely upon the work of faculty members and graduate students, YSU's QUEST is devoted to scholarship that is initiated and performed largely by students. The fact that freshmen and sophomores can get actively involved in research projects with full professors is unusual on college campuses today."
