The CRE was excited to support emerging minds in research at this year's Young Scholars Program Research Symposium, held on July 16 at FSU!

Each year, rising high school seniors from across Florida are selected from a competitive pool of applicants to participate in a six week residential program on FSU's campus. The students get the opportunity to work with FSU faculty on exciting research projects and specially designed academic courses.

We're always excited to see the work the students display, and we hope for the chance to continue to work with them as they continue on their journey as researchers.

Kelsie Fernandez is a senior double majoring in English literature and humanities. As a participant in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), she explored the written power dynamics of 18th-century womanhood under a patriarchal system.

She continued exploring this topic through an IDEA Grant, which supported her ongoing work contributing to a literature podcast and an Honors in the Major thesis on Victorian literature.
