Wading River College Student Presents Project at SUNY Oneonta's annual Student Research and Creative Activity Day

Ben Dalecki, a senior from Wading River, was one of 163 students who presented original research and creative projects at SUNY Oneonta’s annual Student Research and Creative Activity Day on Thursday, April 16.

Dalecki developed a project titled “Prenatal Androgen Exposure is Associated with Sex Role Identity and Physical Preferences in Potential Mates Among Straight Males” under the guidance of Dr. Michael Brown of the Psychology department.

It was one of more than 175 scholarly works displayed at the college’s Hunt Union during the daylong showcase, which also featured a keynote lecture titled “SUNY Oneonta--a lot closer to Broadway than you think” by theatrical producer Hal Luftig, a 1979 SUNY Oneonta graduate and four-time Tony Award winner.

The event was created to recognize and promote undergraduate scholarship and creative activity and has become the premier on-campus event for scholarly student exhibition.

Over 150 students, supported by 71 sponsors from academic and administrative departments, participated in this year’s event, which featured presentations on a wide variety of topics across academic disciplines.

Congratulations to Ben Daleck.
