Research Experience at GWU Helps Alumna Gain Position in Grad School Program

As an undergraduate student at Gardner-Webb University, Amy Schmitt Boyer ’15 studied six-lined racerunner lizards at the Broad River. Although the research tested her patience, the experience helped her secure a position in the graduate program at North Dakota State University (NDSU) in Fargo. “I learned that experimental design and methods are crucial in performing a surveying experiment,” reflected Boyer, a native of Waxhaw, N.C. “It also taught me the best way to present my research to the public.”https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1487/thumbnail.jp
