Rebecca Brophy Presents at Undergraduate Research, Enterprise and Creative Accomplishment Showcase

2013 Apr 25

At Penn State Brandywine's annual spring Exhibition of Undergraduate Research, Enterprise and Creative Accomplishment (EURECA) on April 16, students who have produced outstanding undergraduate work were recognized and presented their findings after many months of research, trial and error and discovery. The students answered questions about their objectives, methods, overall conclusions and the relevance of their projects, providing them with a unique opportunity to engage in scholarly discussions about their work.

Senior English major Rebecca Brophy, of Drexel Hill, presented her research titled "'A Truth Universally Acknowledged': A Reading of the Economics of Marriage and Feminine Identity in Jan Austen and Edith Wharton".

This year's EURECA featured 20 poster presentations and four oral presentations from students in disciplinary programs such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); arts and humanities and social sciences; enterprise; and creative accomplishment, which includes literature, art and performance.
