NDMU Students Present Research at National Research Symposium

BALTIMORE – Five Notre Dame of Maryland University Morrissy Honors Program students traveled down Charles Street to present original research on a variety of topics at the 2024 Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium, which was hosted by Johns Hopkins University from March 21-23.

Jensen Armstrong ’24, Hayley Conn ’26, Kritika KC ’25, Nicole Self ’25, and Nwanneka Udolisa ’25 were all accepted to share research at the symposium, which brings together students across all fields of the humanities to present their work to a national audience.

Conn, KC, Self, and Udolisa all presented research related to their Women and/as Monsters in Literature and Culture English Department class taught by Dr. Jeana DelRosso, while Armstrong presented on a panel focusing on the theme of Art as Resistance. NDMU students competed with applicants from across the country for acceptance to present their research at this year’s conference.

“It’s so gratifying to see NDMU students presenting their original research and writing alongside students from some of the top universities in the country,” said Dr. DelRosso. “The Macksey Symposium affirms that the liberal arts are alive and well across the nation, and our students demonstrated the strength and depth of their humanities education at Notre Dame.”
