Information for senior thesis research students.

This page is for Union College Biology, Environmental Science or Biology/ID students who are interested in doing senior research with Dr. Kathleen LoGiudice

Conducting undergraduate research is a wonderful opportunity that can lead you into a career in science, help you get into professional school,  or at least make you a more scientifically literate citizen of the world. My work with my senior research students is one of the most rewarding things I do in my job and I welcome the opportunity.  If you are interested, I encourage you to e-mail me to see if I currently have room for new students.  If you are a Biology or interdepartmental program major, you can fulfill your senior writing requirement in two ways, by taking the senior seminar course or by completing senior thesis research. Your career goals will help you to decide which of these paths to take.  If you are considering a career in academia or the scientific research, thesis research is a good choice.

Senior thesis research is a very large commitment and you should think hard about whether you have the time and determination to complete it. It involves a lot of time spent in the field, in the lab and the library, learning and writing about the biological system you are working with.  Your thesis will go through numerous drafts and you will have to take constructive criticism and make changes according to this criticism.  It is not for everyone. It requires a passion for biology and true commitment to getting deeply into a problem or question.

Research students must be willing to spend a lot of time with their projects. It is not a “gut course” or an easy A. Students must be persistent, dedicated, thick skinned (they will see a lot of red ink on their thesis drafts) and excited about the process of research. If you think you may have these characteristics, read on!

I hope I haven’t scared you away because most students consider their thesis research experience one of the highlights of their college careers.  Although you will work hard (spending on average, at least 10-12 hours per week on your research), you will also learn and think and most likely enjoy yourself.  It helps to have some flexibility with your time:

• Some weeks you will spend a lot more than 10-12 hours, some weeks less.
• If you have a job, research becomes difficult and you should try to keep your job to evening hours in the fall.
• If you participate in a fall sport, this is also difficult but doable.
• If you have a job and participate in a fall sport, thesis research will be very difficult and you should carefully consider whether it is right for you. I have had very successful thesis students who were both athletes and worked off campus, but they were unusually disciplined and hard working.
• Plan to spend some weekend time trapping and/or in the lab since it is sometimes difficult to find a big enough chunk of time during the week.

If this hasn’t scared you away, e-mail me to see if there is room in the lab for next year.  I may also have summer research fellowships available.

Convocation focuses on community, constructive engagement and the case for Union

Union formally kicked off its 230th academic year Tuesday afternoon with its traditional Convocation ceremony in a packed Memorial Chapel.

President David R. Harris officially welcomed the 511 members of the Class of 2028 . Selected from nearly 8,500 applicants, the students hail from 33 states and 28 countries. The class is also made up of 50 percent of domestic students of color and international students, making it one of the most diverse in the College’s history.

Memorial Chapel was packed as Union formally kicked off its 230th academic year Tuesday afternoon with its traditional Convocation ceremony.

Turning his thoughts to the year ahead, Harris then focused on what he called the three C’s: community, constructive engagement and the case for Union.

Union is a caring community and not a place of sharp elbows where everything is a competition. That is evident in simple acts such as when returning students descend upon new students’ cars when they arrive on campus for move-in day to help with the process.

He noted that while there are many paths to deepen the College’s sense of community, he wanted to share two.

One is food. He reminisced about the role food had when he was a kid and his family gathered for Sunday dinners at his grandparents’ house, strengthening their connections to one another. He mentioned the College’s new dining services partner, Bon Appétit Management Company , and its commitment to sustainability and from-scratch cooking, which should improve the overall campus dining experience.

“Like those Sundays of my childhood, I expect that the quality of food will make you want to come together to eat in our dining halls, linger a while, make new friends and deepen connections with people you already know,” he said.

He reminded the audience that this is the final season for the College’s Division I men’s and women’s hockey teams to play their home games at the iconic Messa Rink. Next year, both teams will play at a new $50 million arena being built at Mohawk Harbor , adjacent to campus.

“We strengthen community over shared meals, but we also build community through shared experiences,” he said. “If attending hockey games is not your thing, I hope you will give it a try this year. It would be fantastic to end our time at Messa by breaking attendance and enthusiasm records for every one of the men’s and women’s home games.”

Since becoming president seven years ago, Harris has encouraged constructive engagement over issues that often divide. This includes bringing in notable speakers that expose the campus community to a range of topics and perspectives.

“You need not change your views but must deepen understanding of why someone’s views differ from your own,” he said.

That mindset is especially critical this year, as lingering tensions over the Israel-Gaza war and a bitter U.S. presidential race threaten to raise emotions on college campuses across the country.

Harris said there were many opportunities to broaden perspectives for and promote meaningful exchange on issues, including a political science class focused on the election, a Cookies and Conversation series in the Minervas, and the College’s invitation to participate in Hillel’s Campus Climate Initiative . Union is partnering with Hillel International, the world's largest Jewish campus organization, to better understand, strengthen and enhance the environment for Jewish students.

“Nothing is to be gained by seeking to marginalize or silence those who think otherwise, and certainly not at an institution whose focus is on wisdom, empathy and courage,” he said.

Finally, Harris reminded the audience of the ongoing challenges in higher ed, including finances, demographics and the rising cost of attending college.

At Convocation, President David R. Harris said, "I remain confident that Union’s future is bright. We are a school that refuses to look down and back. We look up and out.”

Founded in 1795, Union has transformed many times in terms of buildings, academic offerings and demographics of students, faculty and staff. He said the mantra in all areas must be continuous improvement to allow the College to achieve even greater heights. This includes spreading the word about what Union is and the benefits of a Union education and experience, improving all aspects of the school’s academic offerings and the student experience outside the classroom so that every graduate develops the competencies critical to future success.

“Despite these challenges, I remain confident that Union’s future is bright,” Harris said. “We are a school that refuses to look down and back. We look up and out.”

Also at Convocation, Michele Angrist, the Stephen J. and Diane K. Ciesinski Dean of Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs, presented the winners of the College’s top faculty awards.

Stacie Raucci, the Frank Bailey Professor of Classics, received the Stillman Prize for Faculty Excellence in Teaching. Known for her innovative and creative approach to designing courses in Latin, Greek and classical civilization, Raucci is currently working on a three-year project supported by the Byron Nichols Fellowship for Faculty Development, “Ancient Roman Gardening: Cultivating Interdisciplinarity, Community and Well-Being,” with Angela Commito, senior lecturer in the Department of Classics. Raucci joined Union in 2004.

Carol Weisse , the Ronald M. Obenzinger Professor of Psychology and director of Health Professions, received the Stillman Prize for Faculty Excellence in Research. Her current research examines systems of care for chronically and terminally ill residents in the community with a focus on hospice and palliative care in home settings. She recently had a paper published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology-Oncology Practice with Kelly Melekis from the University of Vermont and three Union alumni, “Mixed-Methods Study of End-of-Life Experiences of Patients With Hematologic Malignancies in Social Hospice Residential Home Care Settings.” Weisse joined Union in 1988.

Both faculty prizes were created by Abbott Stillman ‘69, David I. Stillman ’72 and Allan Stillman in honor of their father and grandfather, Abraham Stillman.

Ryder Mollo ‘26, Leo Weisberger ‘26 and Ben Pistiner ‘27 perform legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane’s rendition of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s “My Favorite Things.” The students were presented with the Hollander Convocation Music Prize by Jennifer Matsue , professor of music and chair of the department.

Amanda Tommell-Sandy, the assistant director for Health Promotion and Student Wellness, was presented with the UNITAS Community Building award by President Harris. It is given in recognition of a person who has helped foster community and diversity at Union. During her time at Union, Amanda has presented at the local, state, and national levels on the topics of sexual assault response, eating disorders, and alcohol and other drug abuse response and prevention. She joined the College in 2007.

Ryder Mollo ‘26, Ben Pistiner ‘27 and Leo Weisberger ‘26 were presented with the Hollander Convocation Music Prize by Jennifer Matsue, professor of music and chair of the department. The prize was established by the late Lawrence J. Hollander, dean of engineering emeritus. The students performed legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane’s rendition of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s “My Favorite Things.”

Angrist also recognized the students who made the Dean’s List last year. They will be honored at a reception during Homecoming and Family Weekend.

Convocation opened with remarks from Raucci, the College Marshal Stacie; Julie Swidler ‘79, chair of the Board of Trustees; Kristina Striegnitz, associate professor of computer science and chair of the Faculty Executive Committee; and Sage Stinson ’25, Student Forum president.

A community barbecue followed on Hull Plaza.

Fall term classes begin Wednesday, Sept. 4.

, Name: Citizenship: USA Marital Status: Married Sex: Male Languages: English, Armenian, Russian. Hobbies: Chess, painting   My specialty is in the area of modern solid-state physics, high temperature superconductivity, magnetism, applications of synchrotron radiations in studies of material characteristics in extreme conditions of interstitial space. I was a Principal Investigator of a number of funding projects in the Institute of Nuclear Physics in , Institute of Atomic Energy in Yerevan, and was honored in 1991 by a Doctor of Sciences degree. Since 1972 I was working on the problem of high temperature superconductivity in the Lebedev Physics Institute at the Tamm's Department of Theoretical Physics under the supervision of the Nobel Prize Laureate, I earned my Ph.D. in 1977 from Lebedev Physics Institute working with and received my B.S./M.S. from Lomonosov University in Moscow, majoring in Physics and Mathematics. From 1984 to 1993 I was a Senior Scientist in the Institute of Atomic Energy in Armenia, where I was responsible for the development of various programs in applications of synchrotron radiation sources for studies of solid state physics, properties of novel high temperature superconductors,  electronic phase transitions in rare-earth and transition metal compounds. Since 1984 I was appointed as Professor in General Physics Department at the Armenia University in Yerevan, where I have developed a contemporary educational program and introduced new tutorials and textbooks for graduates in the areas of Quantum Magnetism and Superconductivity.  In 1993 I was invited to work in the United States, particularly at Union College (Schenectady, NY) to join the as a Research Professor. There I developed a theory of orbital ordering and mixed valence states in extreme external conditions (temperature, pressure, composition of material) and studied the finite size effects in small clusters of atoms in the presence of strong magnetic field. Since 1996 I was invited by CSUN to work as a Research Associate in the Material Computational Center where I worked on different projects on electron correlations in solid materials. I have developed theory of electron correlations for accurate calculations of the electronic properties of novel magnetic and superconducting materials. Currently I am an Adjunct Professor and Part Time Faculty at the Department of Physics at CSUN and Pierce College, where I am involved in teaching the number of lecture courses and laboratory sessions in general physics. Also at CSUN I am pursuing my research work in theoretical and computational physics in collaboration with my colleagues, , at the Tamkang University in Taiwan by applying newly developed many body self-consistent perturbation theory beyond the existing self-consisting theories for studies of Fermi and Luttinger liquids, high temperature superconductivity, the BCS-Bose condensation crossover, etc. I have around 30 years of professional experience in the area of Applied and Theoretical Physics, Material Sciences and have published more than 100 papers in refereed scientific periodicals.   American Physical Society, Armenian Physical Society, Topical Group in Magnetism, New York Academy of Sciences, Council on Physics and Chemistry of Rare-Earth Semiconductors Peer Reviewer of the Int.
