The 13^th annual Palmer Student Research Symposium was held Wednesday, April 13, on campus. Students from all departments had the opportunity to present their projects and research to campus.

Throughout the day students will share their projects and research results with the campus through oral presentations, poster presentations, or panel discussions.

This year’s Palmer Student Research Symposium keynote speaker was David Thoreson. He presented his speech, “New Horizons: Exploring the Edges of a Changing Planet.” Thoreson grew up in Iowa and is an international photographer, sailor, and the only American explorer in history to sail the Northwest Passage in both directions. Thoreson’s presentation used photography, storytelling, and personal experience and focused on the issue of climate change.
