separate times – two spring semesters and a J-term. As a double major in political science and global studies with a concentration in international relations, Bolton felt that he wanted to dive in and start learning as much as he could about the world abroad.

The next step in Smith’s research requires bringing female crossbills into captivity to see how they respond to songs of different call types. “I like giving students an opportunity to have an experience they may not have in a lab,” Smith said, as she and Grossberg picked their way down the muddy trail to the beach. Once the songs are collected, Smith and her students,Grossberg and Kirsten Paasche ’13, will take the sounds

The library’s research resources and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) program have often been the saving graces for many research papers. Students who find themselves unable to utilize the library’s in person resources can find useful information in the online database. One such student is James, a junior double majoring in
