The students were surveyed by Erin M. Phelps, assistant director for technical services at Radcliffe's Murray Research Center, who presented her findings at the Murray's weekly brown bag lunch yesterday.
According to Assistant Dean Karen E. Avery '87, who was one of around 20 to attend the event, Phelps will be speaking to the College deans in the near future.
Phelps said yesterday after the event that she chose the class of '96 as the focus of her ongoing research because there were nine graduates of a Radcliffe science program for high school students in that class--all of whom took part in the study.
But Phelps said she made a surprising discovery while comparing the program's graduates to others in the class.
Instead, Phelps' presentation looked at "qualitative" findings from the survey group, including studies of extensive interviews conducted with students during their first and last years at Harvard.
