Jessica E. Null, a senior at East Stroudsburg University majoring in political science and history, presented research at the Northeastern Political Science Association's 53rd Annual meeting. The meeting was held virtually, November 11-13. Kimberly S. Adams, Ph.D., professor of political science, received ESU's Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (S.U.R.E.) grant and selected Null to assist her in collecting and entering data on restrictive voter laws. The purpose of S.U.R.E. is to support faculty/student research pairs over the summer months. The goals are to develop the necessary skill set of undergraduate students to help them become student researchers and to provide faculty members with paid student research assistants. Undergraduate students selected for the program received summer pay for research tasks assigned by their faculty supervisor. By assisting faculty members in their research, students selected for the program learned the knowledge and skills necessary for conducting advanced research in their field. This grant is not intended to support students in their own thesis work. The project should be one primarily initiated by, and to support, a faculty member's research.
