Each semester the Undergraduate Research coordinator organizes a celebration of undergraduate research at Hofstra that features advanced students presenting their own research in their field, either as a poster or as an oral presentation. With each year, the event has gotten bigger in total numbers of students, and broader in scope of fields represented. What the pictures can only partly convey is the nervous energy and excitement of the students as they present the topics they have worked long and hard on developing over many months: you had to be there!

Charleston, SC. Memminger Elementary School, near St. Philip Street service entrance.
Memminger School detached boiler room and heating building. This building was given over by the county school board at a nominal rent with a long term lease to the privately operated ECDC (Early Childhood Development Center) program operated by the College of Charleston. It is an exclusive pre-school not generally open to downtown students. It is now a well designed all-purpose room and gym with acess from the main ECDC building on Wentworth Street. Photo taken October 2006.
Originally constructed in 1953-54, school underwent a total renovation which was completed in 2001. That multi-million dollar project included roof replacement and equipping the school with all new furnishings and fixtures.
In 1998 a complete analysis of the Charleston region was conducted with published results relating to what might be expected if an earthquake were to strike the area with a similar force as the one in August of 1886, now estimated to have registered 7.3 on the Richter Scale. The report was designed to review what might happen to the urban area's public buildings and infrastructure given the dramatic development differences that exist between Charleston in 1886 and the same city in 1998, slightly more than 100 years later. Representatives of all public agencies in the area, including top administrators from the Charleston County School District, were present for the oral presentation of the findings. The published report and conclusions was also given to the local school district facilities director soon afterwards and prior to 2001.
In the fall of 2003 and spring of 2004, the architectural firm of Harvey Gantt of Charlotte, NC, reported that the school was structurally sound and with some program design changes would likely serve the community's needs for the future. In the fall of 2009, school district officials ordered a different engineering study, without an RFP, designed to project liabilities in the event of an earthquake registering 5.0 or greater. Five schools were singled out against an inventory of over 80 school facilities, many with conditions at greater risk than the ones singled out. The structural analysis of each of the 5 schools, all built before 1998 and prior to the implimentation of the IBC, indicated that safety risks existed in the event of a cataclismic event. The reports also indicated that each building could be made safe by following accepted practices for retrofitting structural supports to meet current seismic codes. It was not required that any of the five schools be demolished if a standard structural retrofit was attempted.
In early 2010, school district officials decided the building was seismicly unsafe and ordered the school to be immediately vacated and torn down. Community objections were ignored.

The annual Undergraduate Research Conference is a campus-wide celebration of the talent and dedication of MCLA students. Part of the college's Undergraduate Research Program, the conference welcomes undergraduate scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study. Depending on the discipline, students display their work as a poster, an oral presentation, or a performance.
Frankfurt, 24-28 September 2012, 27th EU PVSEC, Oral Session "PV Policies, Programmes and Perspectives".
During the 2020 Virtual 4-H Table Setting Contest for the Lancaster County Super Fair, youth selected a theme and displayed one place setting, including table covering, dishes, glassware, silverware, centerpiece, and menu. Youth chose one of the following categories: formal, casual, picnic, or birthday. Youth dressed to match their table theme. There were three age divisions in each table category: Junior, Intermediate, and Senior.
Judges viewed videos submitted by 4-H’ers which showed details of their table as well as a five minute oral presentation. 22 youth participated in this contest. After all judging was completed, short videos of each table were available on Flickr for public viewing.
The Super Fair is produced by Lancaster County Agricultural Society, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that promotes agriculture, youth, and community. Learn more about Super Fair at SuperFair.org
In Lancaster County, the 4-H youth development program is a partnership between Nebraska Extension and the Lancaster County government. Learn more about Lancaster County 4-H at lancaster.unl.edu/4h
Awards for Student Oral Presentations. Audrey-Anne Vallée, Lajmi Lakhal-Chaieb (Cttee), Shimeng Huang, Shamsia Sobhan, Shuai (Alex) Yang, Creagh Briercliffe, Neil Spencer, Michaël Lalancette, Hugh Chipman (SSC President), François Bellavance (Cttee).
On Oct. 14-16, 2013, Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago organized the 2013 edition of the “Materials Modeling and Simulations for Nuclear Fuels” (MMSNF) workshop series in downtown Chicago.
Oral presentations were selected to sample diverse topics and geographic contributions.
