Welcome!
Hello, Kcawley1, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Potential Research Topics
1.) Dr. Mercy B. Jackson, M.D. 2.) Boston's New England Female Medical College 3.) Westbrook Seminary 4.) Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat

Ideally, I would love to research someone or something related to the field of medicine, as I am a medically biology major and pre-med and would love to learn more about women's start in medicine. Thus, Boston's New England Female Medical College and Dr. Mercy B. Jackson, M.D. are my top choices for research topics. As a UNE student I am also very interested in the history of our school and would enjoy learning more about the Westbrook Seminary. If my other research topics do not work out, Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat also seems like an interesting woman who has not seen her share of attention, and deserves some recognition with a Wikipedia page.

Response to topics
Great topics! The Boston Female Medical College is just crying for elaboration -- and I know there is material you can use to give it more context. The entry on Wikipedia (New England Female Medical College) is very brief.

Dr. Mercy Jackson is wide open. Are there good secondary sources you can use? You might look and see what you can find. (Was this on the librarians list? If so, you might contact librarian Roberta Gray at rgray@une.edu for help)

Westbrook Seminary and Sweat are strong backup topics if the above two don't work out. I know these are on at least one other student's list. My gut? Go with the Medical College or Jackson (if there are sources). Edw04005 (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
