Student Lynn King makes research presentation.

Northwood University's external degree program, University College, provides students the opportunity to visit the library for four days of intensive study during the month of July. After a preview of Senator Margaret Chase Smith's life, students research a topic using one of the many primary-source case studies developed by the library staff. At the end of the week, students must present an oral report on their findings. A final paper on the topic is due a month after the session concludes. During the week, students also listen to a series of historical lectures, which they must summarize and submit in written form.
