While researching gun
violence and gun control in the United States with Dr. Doug Lonnstrom, Junior
Michael Duffy, found undergraduate research to be an awarding experience.
Being an accounting major, his
project was geared towards statistics. It had a broad linkage to his major
field. Michael believes that the linkage to research, something you are
interested in, and your major or future career interest is a great advantage.
Michael presented off campus at the
Upstate New York Undergraduate Research Conference and found it to be a
“wonderful experience”. There he was able to receive feedback which helped him
shape his research. According to Michael it was “great to interact with other
students and see what they have been working on". Michael also saw this as
a great opportunity to work on his public speaking skills.
Michael’s goals for his current
research are to gather as much information as possible and clean it up enough
to get published.
