Delia Byrne Presents Research at Undergraduate Symposium

2016 May 3

Delia Byrne presented her research project "An Interview with Andrea Healy: Successfully Facing the Challenges of a Young Mother" at Assumption College's 22nd Annual Undergraduate Symposium, held April 18-19 on the College's Worcester Campus. Byrne, with her partner Shannon Mulvaney '19, explored the life of Andrea Maria Healy, a member of Rainbow Child Development and a role model of strength and dedication for women of all ages.

The undergraduate symposium highlights the research and scholarly achievements of Assumption students, working in collaboration with dedicated faculty mentors. These collaborations represent a model for integrating teaching, original research, and peer review in promoting intellectual development and professional growth. The symposium provides the campus community with the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation of, and applaud, the individual and collective accomplishments of the College's faculty and students.

"The Symposium is, for me, an occasion of great pride-pride in our students, of course, but also in our faculty who generously donate their time, attention, and expertise to ensure the intellectual development of their students," said Louise Carroll Keeley, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at Assumption College. "It has become one of my favorite parts of the semester."
