HU students present research at Butler conference

HUNTINGTON, Ind. Several Huntington University students presented their research from their research methods classes at the Butler University Research Conference on April 11 in Indianapolis. In addition to presenting their own research, the students attended multiple presentations from students who attend universities across the state.

The students presented their research from self-conducted studies and surveys on a range of topics, including perceptions in determining the attractiveness of a person, use of expletives in daily language and relational dialectics in roommate relationships.
