On Thursday, October 1st, six panelists came together on Zoom to share their personal academic and creative journey. This discussion, moderated by Shinnyo fellow Sydney Cheung, ranged from various topics such as finding a mentor to balancing research and school life to applying to scholarships and fellowships, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The six panelists included Vidal Arroyo, Jessica Bochinski, Kayley Cho, Vivian Luong, N<\/span>icole Saito, and Leana Sottile\u2014 all of which had unique research topics. For example, both Jessica and Leana exemplified how research isn\u2019t necessarily attributed to the sciences, but can have a focus in the arts or creative activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was someone in my year who created a gumball machine of poetry and instead of shooting out gumballs, it shot out little strips of poems. In other years, I saw that someone made a sculpture to talk about pollution. There is a lot of work conceptualizing that sculpture, or whatever it is that they\u2019re creating. So there\u2019s not really a limit to what can be involved in creative activity, as long as you can make the case you\u2019re having to do some sort of research\u2014 that would be considered creative activity,\u201d Jessica explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Jessica and Leana, Nicole emphasizes that research is not only limited to certain topics, and can be a way to combine your personal interests and background. \u201cIt\u2019s really an empowering experience, specifically for me. I\u2019m from Hawaii and in Hawaii right now. Japanese-American relations with Native Hawaiians isn\u2019t really a mainstream historical or political topic. It was definitely something I realized I would have to take on my own…and the history department was very supportive of me,\u201d she commented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about balancing research with schoolwork and personal life, Vivian responded with having to set boundaries and saying no to opportunities that did not serve her true interests. She also elaborated to say her research and other involvements have been a two-way street, which have helped congruently. \u201cThose presentation skills I learned as a chemistry supplemental instructor (SI) helped me to present my research at conferences.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting involved in research or creative activity can seem intimidating, but there\u2019s no set of rules you have to follow. Kayley expressed that she didn\u2019t expect to get started on research so early during her freshman year, but found interest in researching cancer during the faculty research expo, which is taking place again this <\/span>Thursday, October 15 from 4pm-6pm<\/span><\/a>. She noted that she hadn\u2019t taken organic chemistry yet and was worried on how this might affect her research opportunities, but luckily her faculty mentor was extremely supportive and offered to teach her from the bottom up. Leana started her research journey when she was writing her history department thesis on war and musical theater, and later realized there was a gap in this area of research. She was then awarded the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) this past summer and is continuing her research into her graduate program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vidal, joining in from England, reflected on applying to many fellowships and scholarships after being awarded the Rhodes Scholarship\u2014the first at Chapman to receive it. \u201cThe point of applying for scholarships is not to get the scholarships…but I really think it\u2019s the process that is the prize and not the prize itself. If you can\u2019t write a strong reason to do something, you probably don\u2019t have a strong reason to do something,\u201d he said. He advises students to simply follow their passions, with a love for the research they\u2019re doing and to come curious with questions.<\/span><\/p>\n
