NEWTON, Mass. — Lasell’s Connected Learning Symposium recently celebrated its 20th year of student scholarship and research with original presentations from more than 200 participants.

Emily Anderson of Lisbon Falls was part of a group presentation, “Promoting Transparency: Pulling Back the Curtains on Sexual Violence,” which aimed to normalize conversations about sexual violence and make information accessible to all community members.

The presentation incorporated the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) competencies of professionalism, leadership, equity and inclusion, and career and self-development. Anderson also participated in a live demonstration of clay hand-building technique at the symposium.

Wyatt Edwards of Gray presented discoveries from a social science capstone project, which incorporated yearlong research on a problem in psychology or sociology with an innovative solution based on experiences at their internship site. The presentation included processes of collaboration, grant-writing, and preparing for a career in the social sciences.

The presentation incorporated the NACE competencies of professionalism, equity and inclusion, and career and self-development.
