Sociology 4800 Capstone offers opportunities for students to integrate knowledge from previous sociology courses, develop research skills to answer sociological questions, understand and become engaged with the research process, and help envision advanced study and job opportunities after graduation. Near the end of the semester, students graphically present their research findings at local, regional, or national undergraduate research conferences.

Rising Senior Kyle Thompson was recently recognized for his excellence in research at the McNair Scholars luncheon in July. The McNair Scholars Program encourages students to pursue graduate studies by providing opportunities to define goals, engage in research, and develop the skills and student/faculty mentor relationships critical to success at the doctoral level.

“I’m so thankful for McNair,” said fourth-year student Kyle Thompson, a sociology major with a minor in psychology who came to BGSU from Pickering Central High School. “A lot of people don’t really get the opportunity to do research and present it. It’s been so supportive and it’s helped me find opportunities, and also to find the passion in myself. It’s been interesting to discover the new dimensions and see it all unfold.”
Students presented research posters during CURS symposium
Four undergraduate students presented research posters during the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (CURS) symposium on the BGSU campus. CURS aims to bring together students, faculty, administrators, alumni, and members of the greater BG community to foster the research culture as an integral component of the learning through inquiry process for all undergraduates at BGSU. As engaged members of the learning community, students are provided with an opportunity to experience the processes of scholarly discovery and dissemination of their results.

During the event, several undergraduate students and Dr. Margaret Weinberger, senior lecturer and undergraduate director, conducted an unscientific study with participants to ensure that "everyone counts," including our four-legged creatures!
