New! Faculty/Student Research Connection Highlights Research and Creative Activity Day on Friday, April 4
West Chester University’s annual Research and Creative Activity Day showcases excellence in academic inquiry from all of the University’s six colleges
and two schools in a celebration of knowledge and discovery. Nearly 100 faculty and
students are participating in this year’s program on Friday, April 4, held in Sykes
Student Union ballrooms (110 West Rosedale Avenue) from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day’s
activities are free and open to the public.
“Research and Creative Activity Day highlights the innovative and impactful research being conducted by our outstanding faculty and students,” notes Dr. Cheryl Neale-McFall, Associate Provost for Research and Creative Activity. The event is hosted by the University’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
Nearly 100 faculty and student researchers share their work through poster presentations, oral presentations, an interdisciplinary faculty panel, and new this year, a faculty/student research connection event.
Food and door prizes are available for students who attend the inaugural Faculty/Student Research Connection from 1 to 2 p.m. in Sykes Ballroom C. All WCU students are invited to mingle with faculty research mentors in a casual format to talk about research opportunities available in faculty spaces (e.g., labs, volunteer opportunities, grant-funded opportunities, work study opportunities). More than 30 faculty members representing the University’s colleges and the University Libraries will be on hand.
The Interdisciplinary Faculty Panel will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Sykes Ballroom C. Moderated by Amir Golmohamadi (Nutrition), the panel includes faculty members from each college who have been awarded internal grants (PRG, FPDC, PEPI, Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion) in the past year. Faculty will share about their projects and present an opportunity for peers and students to discuss and learn about what is happening across colleges in research and creative activities.
Faculty panel members are Lauren Brumley (Psychology), Patricia Davidson (Nutrition), Michelle Blake (English), Pauline Schmidt (Secondary Education), Crystal Loose (Early Middle Grades), Simon Condliffe (Economics and Finance), Megan Schraedley (Communication and Media), Emily Duckett (Sports Medicine), and Meghan Ramick (Sports Medicine).
