7 things you need to know about Fall Fest

Students present their work at Fall Fes

 

Every October, Clark hosts Fall Fest, an annual celebration of our students’ research and creative work. It’s one of two major opportunities — the other is Academic Spree Day in the spring — for undergraduates to showcase what they’ve done in the classroom, the lab, and beyond.

This year’s event takes place Friday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Goddard Library.

Here are seven essential things to know about Fall Fest:

  1. Students will showcase their work in 79 poster sessions and eight oral presentations and panels representing the breadth of Clark academics.
  2. You will learn something you never knew before. (Unless you’re already up to speed on “Mathematical Modeling of the toy gene in Drosophila Melanogaster Development.”)
  3. Fall Fest was established in 2000 to showcase student work accomplished over the summer. Today, students can present either their academic research, their summer internships, or their study abroad experiences.
  4. You’ll hear about research and creative projects Clark students conducted in Chile, Peru, the Arctic, Bosnia, Shanghai, and throughout the United States (including on a cross-country road trip, with amazing photos to prove it).
  5. Each Fall Fest project has been produced with the sponsorship and support of one or more Clark faculty or staff members.
  6. On Friday, you’ll be introduced to a new Clark app, hear about the eccentric life of a Texas poet, and discover the secret world of ant behavior. And that’s just for starters.
  7. There will be cookies! Not the computer kind — the chocolate chip kind. Help yourself.
