2017 Jul 20

Tshering Lama Sherpa, of Kathmandu, Nepal, is one of 120 students working this summer in Union College's summer research program.

Lama Sherpa, a member of the Class of 2018, is working in the Geology department on a project titled "Magnetic Provenance of Glacial lacustrine sediments preserved in Lake Junin Drill Core."

Union College students are working closely with 64 faculty stretched across 23 departments and programs. Most projects are funded through the undergraduate research program. The rest are supported by government or scientific society grants to faculty members, academic departments, and/or with foundation funding. The projects support Union's commitment to undergraduate research, one that rivals the experience found at larger universities.
