    History
    Faculty
    Research Project: Revisiting Women of the Republic with Linda Kerber at the American Antiquarian Society

    “Most people do not realize that historians have professional responsibilities far beyond the classroom.  Involving students in my research gives them hands-on experience for the different kinds of work that historians pursue.” - Dr. Carl Robert Keyes

    Project Name: The role of Tumor Microenvironment in Pregnancy Associated Breast Cancer

    "Conducting research highlights the importance of the material we teach in the classroom.  As science professors we try to stress the importance of what we teach to real life.  Once the student arrives in the research lab, he or she begins to see how important the lecture material becomes since we use our knowledge of biology all the time in the lab.  These research projects offer a great opportunity to work closely with a professor and we form close relationships with our research students that last beyond the students’ time at Assumption." - Dr. Jessica McCready

  • Dr. Michele Lemons, Rachel Avard, Michaela Temple and Monika Rettler

    Project Name: Molecular Mechanisms of Neural Development

    “I enjoy working with Assumption students and unlocking new mysteries about neuronal development.  It’s extremely gratifying to carefully plan and execute a series of experiments with students and to ultimately (hopefully) obtain data that unveils a novel understanding about molecular mechanisms of neural development.  It’s thrilling to be the first to answer a scientific question that no one else has answered!  It is equally thrilling to see the ‘ah ha’ moment in students eyes as they make new discoveries in the lab after investing a lot of work and effort in their projects.   Research in the lab is challenging and Assumption students bring a source of energy, dedication and optimism that are important factors for success.” - Dr. Michele Lemons

    Research Project: Constitutional Conservation and the Courts

    "Good scholarship challenges you to learn while teaching and to teach while learning.  That's why I enjoy working with students in research.  They get to participate in the process of discovery, and I get to participate alongside them.  It's both a teaching and a learning experience for both sides, and it's part of what makes an Assumption education unique." - Dr. Gregory Weiner
