At the start of each spring semester, the Libby and Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows holds an Open House to show off student research done over winter break and allow the College community to better understand what the society does before applications to join are due. This year’s open house was held on February 8th at 5:30 in the Toll Atrium. Five members of the Cater Society presented their research via poster presentations. Katherine Esposito ‘25 and Xavier Smalls ‘25 presented their research done in Cuba entitled, “Contemporary Art in Cuba: Explored Through a Creative Lens” and “Is Cuba Entering a Second ‘Special Period?’ - A Study of Food Insecurity in Cuba,” respectively. Jevon Smalls ‘25 talked about his time in Costa Rica through this project, “Correlating Costa Rican hummingbird and hermit species foraging and visit behaviors with sugar concentration and other species groups based on time of day.” Jeremy Liberman ‘25 spoke on his work, “Arthropod Biodiversity in the Sonoran Desert.” Additionally, Delaney Runge ‘24 discussed her experience in England, through her research, “Exploring the Origins of Charlotte Brontë, her Novel Jane Eyre, and its Prequel Novel, Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea.
