Vol. 6 No. 1 (2026): SoReMo Fellow projects 2025/2026

This volume is dedicated to the projects that were developed and proposed in Fall 2025 and research carried out in Spring 2026.

This academic year's projects were generously supported by Dr. Michela Coffaro, a gift in memory of Josephine Coffaro and Leah Betts to support our collaboration with Keeler Gardens, and by a generous gift by Joel Krauss (MATH ’71), Board of Advisors Vice-Chair of CoC Board of Advisors. Running this initiative in 2026 would not have been possible without the support the faculty and by tireless advocacy of the College of Computing Dean Nicole Beebe. We also acknowledge Dean Jennifer De Winter's connecting us to Keeler Gardens.
