This poster displays the thinking that went into and the results of the trip I took to Augusta, Georgia using the grant awarded to me by CURF’s Spring 2024 Ruth Marcus Kanter College Alumni Society Undergraduate Research Grant. The purpose of the trip was to visit President Wilson’s Boyhood Home in the larger context of writing my Honors History thesis. While I was in Augusta, I also took the opportunity to explore the town, visiting sites such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Old Medical College. The trip illuminated the prevalence of religious thinking in Wilson’s upbringing, informing my larger findings about how the ideals imparted to him during his childhood affected his performance at the Paris Peace Conference. Without the opportunity provided by CURF to travel to conduct this research, the process of formulating an original hypothesis regarding Wilson's performance at the Paris Peace Conference would have been exponentially more difficult.
