28th annual symposium: A celebration of faculty creativity and scholarship

Heidelberg celebrated the 28th annual Faculty Research Symposium on Tuesday with a total of 10 professors presenting recent and ongoing research. Two students also co-presented with their faculty members

The ultimate goal of the symposium is to give students a sense of what a professional scholarly presentation should look like and to demonstrate techniques they can apply to their own presentations. The symposium also serves as a forum for faculty members to share their research and scholarly interests with the campus community.

Dr. Daniel Kane served as the faculty coordinator for this year’s Faculty Research Symposium.
