Health and Human Sciences’ faculty, students to share research Thursday
CARBONDALE, Ill. — Faculty from Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s College of Health and Human Sciences will discuss their research during a “flash talk” presentation at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in Morris Library’s John C. Guyon Auditorium.
Graduate students and undergraduate students within the college will also present talks and posters during the event. Each participating faculty member will present a brief, 3-minute PowerPoint “lightning” talk about their research. Topics represent research from each of the six schools in the college and will include research conducted with students. There are also 12 graduate student poster presentations.
The event is free and open to open to SIU faculty, staff, students and the public.
“The mission of the College of Health and Human Sciences places great value on conducting and communicating scholarly research,” said Tammy Kochel, associate dean for research, diversity and personnel. “A culture of research requires open and collaborative personal relationships. I strongly believe ties with community members foster collaborative research efforts as well. This is an excellent opportunity for networking and creating a foundation for future cross-disciplinary research collaboration.”
Refreshments, catered by the SIU Culinary Club, a registered student organization, and the poster event starts at 4:30 p.m. with presentations starting at 5 p.m. Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP Elizabeth Benson at 618-453-4115 or elizabeth.benson@siu.edu.
