KENOSHA, WISCONSIN (July 9, 2025) — Payton Gelande from Port Byron, Illinois, is conducting research into NMR Analysis of Micelle Formation by Bio-Based Surfactants with faculty mentor Kevin Morris through Carthage College's 2025 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience.
Carthage College selected 32 students for its Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE).
The SURE program offers Carthage students in all majors an opportunity to engage in collaborative full-time research with professors. Students work closely with faculty mentors on a new or developing line of research. Many students present their research at the annual Celebration of Scholars event the following spring.
SURE has been a hallmark of the Carthage experience since the mid-1990s. SURE started in the natural sciences and grew to include all academic divisions at Carthage.
