The poster is just the beginning. Behind every summer research poster is a student who spent weeks asking questions, troubleshooting experiments, analyzing data, learning from unexpected results and discovering something new. Today, they shared where that curiosity took them in the annual summer science symposium. This is K students doing science. 🔬

Run. Research. Repeat. For Ava King ’28, the perseverance that carries her through tough workouts and races is proving pretty useful in the research lab, too. This summer, the biology major and cross country/track and field student-athlete has been helping develop low-cost air-quality sensors that measure pollutants like ozone and particulate matter. It's a different kind of endurance, but the same K mindset: Keep going, keep learning and figure it out. Read Ava’s story: https://ow.ly/F4Xj50ZGECY 🏃‍♀️🔬

In athletics, you learn to get back up. In research, you learn to try again. For Mallory Gentry ’28 and Simran Magnan ’29, those lessons go hand in hand. 🏊‍♀️⚽️🧪

The swimmer and soccer player spent their summer in the chemistry lab of Daniela Arias-Rotondo, researching manganese-based compounds that could one day help improve solar-energy technology. And when an experiment doesn’t work as planned? That’s not failure. It’s figuring out what to try next.

“Having student-athletes in the lab is awesome because they know how to fail and recover from failure,” Arias-Rotondo says.

Turns out, resilience is a pretty good research skill. Read the third story in our series on K student-athletes doing summer chemistry research: https://ow.ly/HK8c50ZGfkB. 🧡🖤

Even before their first day of classes, they're already becoming a part of the K community. Our newest Hornets are participating in LandSea, Kalamazoo College’s pre-orientation adventure program, where first-year students build friendships, challenge themselves and experience a little of the community that makes K special. The adventure is just beginning. 🌲🐝

Practices. Training. Days in the lab. And microscopic worms. 🪱 Sara Cate Finks ’27, Julia Kozal ’27 and Landrie Fridsma ’27 are putting the persistence, discipline and determination they’ve developed as student-athletes to work in the lab. Learn more: https://ow.ly/hUaU50ZFnAf. 🔬🏊🥍🥎
