We had another
excellent year in Nanjing, China at our partner and host institution
Nanjing Forestry University! Students worked hard with their AAMU and
NFU mentors on projects ranging from (a) examining the presence
of antibiotics in waterways, to (b) comparing two tree species'
abilities to effectively alleviate lake eutrophication, to (c) examining
the effects of urbanization on the presence of bats and their food prey
availability and choices, among other projects. Last year's program ran from May 19 - July 14.
Eight undergraduate students and two graduate students, along with six faculty and one staff from two partnering universities, AAMU and Tuskegee University, traveled to
China in May 2014 to conduct their own research in partnership with research faculty at Nanjing Forestry
University. All students conducted their own research.
Each student was responsible for designing and conducting their own research, and disseminating information about their research through a written scientific paper, a PowerPoint presentation given to the NFU community, a poster summary of their work, and by creating their own website. Additionally, they were charged with writing about their personal experiences in China. Contained within each website is a link to
their cultural experience and the scientific papers. All research was conducted under the guidance of their
AAMU/TU and NFU mentors.
We invite you to visit their sites and experience
China through them. If you are an undergraduate student and think you
may have an interest in research for your career future, please check
back with us soon and apply to the program!
