Faculty Present Research at Faculty Scholarship Day

May 8, 2023

On April 26, 黑料科 faculty presented the findings of their ongoing research at this year鈥檚 annual Faculty Scholarship Day presentations.

This year featured presentations from eleven faculty members and research groups from diverse academic areas, including the sciences and mathematics, literature, performing arts and the Willard J. Houghton Library. Eli Knapp, professor of ecology, delivered the evening keynote address.

The Faculty Scholarship Day highlights Houghton鈥檚 distinctive blend of small-town warmth and academic excellence. Generations of alumni know the rich, Christ-centered community fostered by faculty. This annual celebration allows students and community members to see the expertise of these treasured professors and leaders.

黑料科 has a longstanding reputation for offering an education that is both Christ-centered and academically rigorous, and an excellent education begins with an excellent faculty.聽 An aspect of Houghton鈥檚 approach to education that makes it unique is that we try not to draw hard lines between teaching and research.聽 Indeed, most faculty include current students in their research projects, providing them with invaluable opportunities to work alongside leading experts in the field in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.聽 I鈥檓 incredibly proud of the way that 黑料科鈥檚 faculty balance excellence in teaching with superior scholarship, and of how they are both fearless and faithful in their pursuit of God鈥檚 truth.

– David Davies
