This year's event will be held on Tuesday Nov. 28th from 1:00-4:00pm. 

In celebrating research across campus, the ORSP Forward Thinking Research Symposium provides opportunities to learn more about work being done in other disciplines and fosters professional skills for students. Unlike traditional conferences, where researchers convey the results of work that has been completed, the Forward Thinking presentations focus on projects that will take place in the next 6–12 months.  

 

Be sure to stop by the AMU Ballrooms to check out some of the exciting work being done on campus.  Here is the agenda for the day:

1:00 – 1:10 Welcome from President, Dr. Michael Lovell and Vice President for Research and Innovation, Dr. Jeanne Hossenlopp (Ballroom E)

1:15 – 2:45  Oral Presentations (in 2 adjacent ballrooms)

3:00 – 4:00  Reception and Poster Presentation (Ballroom E)

 

 

• Below is the anticipated schedule of oral presentations (asterisked listings will also be displaying a supplemental poster at the reception).
