ITAP Winter Term
Jan 2010
Contact Calling
During DePauw University's Winter Term, a month-long term that promotes intensive and non-
traditional learning, I voluntarily aided the ITAP program by serving as a contact caller. Over the
course of the month I contacted prospective freshmen to talk about DePauw and ITAP; some had
never heard of the program, while others had heard of ITAP, but still did not know what it was. I
loved being able to help high school seniors think about their college experience as well as
improved my interpersonal skills through these phone conversations.
Science Research Fellows (SRF)
Greencastle, IN, United States Aug 2010 - Present
Undergraduate Researcher
This is an honors program at DePauw for students interested in studying science. This is a
significant hands-on research experience for undergraduate students. There are different projects in
numerous scientific fields of study. The experiences prepare students for post-graduate study and a
wide variety of careers in science. There are several components to the program:
First-Year Research Experience:This is a semester long research project for a small group of
students (6 maximum) with a professor in a given field.
I worked with Professor Hillary Eppley, associate professor of Chemistry and
Biochemistry, on an Ionogel Research Project (Chemistry) . This is a special gel with
unknown properties. We did tests to reproduce the gel and find out its components.
Using devices such as the NMR and IR machines permitted us to complete the project.
The final goal is to produce a catalyst for reactions that can sustain extreme heat.
Student/faculty Collaborative Summer Research: Students participate in a 10 week paid summer
original research project with a professor.
I worked with Professor James Benedix, professor of Biology on Behavioral Studies of
Frogs, Crickets and Small Mammals (Biology). This gives students a field research
experience studying animal behavior and ecology.
In the future:
Research Internship: This is outside reach with other universities, government laboratories, top
R&D companies. Research can also be done on-campus at DePauw.
Senior Capstone Semiar: This is a class which discusses topics like graduate school and science
careers. Other science education topics are discussed to help mold plans for future leaders in fields
of science.
