Faculty Research Symposium is Feb. 8

Twenty faculty members and eight graduate counseling students will present their research at the 23rd annual Faculty Research Symposium Thursday, Feb. 8, in Adams Hall.

The purposes of the event are threefold: to inform students, faculty, and staff about faculty research and scholarly interests; to watch faculty present and perform; and to show students how to present research in various disciplines, so that they may apply the techniques to their own presentations.
