Youngstown State Student Lisa Ridgley of Lisbon, OH, Presents Research at QUEST

2013 Apr 9

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

Ridgley is majoring in Psychology at YSU. The presentation was titled: Effects of Technology-Enhanced Science Curriculum on Learning and Engagement for Students with Autism.

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."
