Scott Dolan, dean of School of Graduate Studies, stated, “We are thrilled to be holding our inaugural Graduate Research Symposium. This is a great example of collegewide collaboration and will bring students together from different disciplines to present their research and work. We see this as an extension of our strategic goals of building community with our faculty and students, promoting dialogue across disciplines, and giving students an opportunity to network with leaders in their respective fields. We invite you to join us for this important educational event.”
The Graduate Research Symposium is an opportunity for Excelsior College graduate students to present their own research that they completed in courses. The symposium will include presentations on health sciences, business, cybersecurity, nursing, criminal justice, and public service.
Michele Paludi, senior faculty program director and co-chair of graduate symposium, stated, “The Schools of Graduate Studies and Nursing wanted to host the online graduate research symposium as an opportunity for graduate students to present their research to a diverse audience across several disciplines. We are honored to have Dr. Banerjee and Dr. Nelson join us for this symposium. They are outstanding role models for students.”
Excelsior College’s goal is to provide graduate students an avenue to share their research, practice conference and presentation skills, network, and foster interprofessional collaborations. The research at this event will include case analysis, website analysis, original research, primary research, secondary research, and translating research into health care practice on nursing, mentoring, and other topics.
The Ever Upward prize will be awarded to the best presentation at the symposium to encourage a student to continue to pursue research throughout their career and to place value on research in general.
