Bradley Palocko to present senior Honors project at Heidelberg University

2016 Apr 22

Bradley Palocko of Medina, Ohio, who is enrolled in the Honors Program at Heidelberg University, will present his senior Honors project next week.

Palocko, who is majoring in Biology, will present his research on the topic "Isolation of Phages against Staphylococcus aureus and Phage Therapy of Wound Infections in Rattus norvegicus" as the culmination of Honors Program requirements before graduation on May 15.

Each Honors student, during the senior year, works with a faculty mentor to complete a capstone project that derives from their major field of study. The research project is designed to individualize and deepen their understanding of a topic of compelling interest in his/her major.

Honors students work with their faculty mentor on research and writing for the project. The final project is presented in writing and the student also is required to present their project before the campus community.

This semester, a total of 22 Heidelberg students will be presenting their senior Honors projects from April 26-28. Heidelberg's Honors Program, titled "The Life of the Mind," empowers the most outstanding students to explore their abilities within a supportive community of scholars and learners. The program is comprised of four intellectual areas: the Scholar, the Scientist, the Artist and the Citizen.
