From art with old house paints to studying red blood cell
membranes to researching Mennonite poetry, students have again
been active this summer in independent research through the
Goshen College's Maple Scholars program.
Maple Scholars is an eight-week program that gives students the opportunity to participate in independent research alongside Goshen College faculty of various disciplines.
