The Department Research Half Day aims to showcase ongoing and completed research initiatives, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and highlight innovative projects that align with the department’s strategic goals. This event provides a space for faculty, staff, and learners to exchange ideas, gain feedback, and identify opportunities for future research partnerships.
This pilot event will include two research capacity building sessions and a research poster showcase. As this is the first Research Day the department has hosted in more than a decade, kindly register so we can accurately gauge interest and plan accordingly. We look forward to seeing you!
