Maddock selected for research experience

 John Maddock of Monticello, was among more than 40 students who were selected to conduct research with Carthage faculty through the 2018 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience.

Maddock participated in an economics project titled, "Measuring the Effects of Alcohol Taxes on Levels of Consumption and Public Health Outcomes," with Professor Ron Cronovich.

SURE students spend 10 weeks on campus doing original research full time with a faculty mentor. They receive a stipend, on-campus housing, a meal plan, and a research budget.

All SURE participants and faculty mentors meet weekly for lunch, during which students present their progress. At the end of the program, students are required to write a project report and display their findings at a poster session for the Carthage community.
