At Doane College, students and faculty work together on a range of research projects. During the academic year, students work on projects connected to courses in which they are enrolled.
Junior and Senior level students in the Writing and Research Seminar recently completed semester-long projects that included a history of a Nebraska family farm, the history of the sugar beet in Nebraska, a study of the continued use and adaptation of the hymns translated by Catherine Winkworth, and an examination of the Nebraska Industrial Home in Milford, NE. Students utilized source material from archives at Doane and throughout Nebraska and beyond for their projects. Students also work with faculty during the summer months as part of the Summer Research Grant program.
During the 2009-10 academic year, Doane students had the opportunity to take courses in Arabic and Islamic Studies with Magda El Mahalawy, a Fulbright Scholar from Egypt, who was in residence on the Crete campus.
