Holy Cross Students Present Environmental Research

WORCESTER, Mass. – As part of Earth Day celebrations at Holy Cross, students enrolled in an environmental mathematics course will be presenting research project results during a poster session in the Swords Hall Atrium on Wednesday, April 23 from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

The course examined quantitative aspects of global warming, ground water contamination and air pollution. Research projects span a variety of topics, each addressing an important environmental issue and focusing on quantitative analysis.

The environmental studies program at Holy Cross is a multidisciplinary, student-designed minor run through the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies. The aim of environmental studies is to allow students to assemble a series of courses that bridge two or more disciplines and that provides a comprehensive understanding of environmental issues.
