From the history and impact of the natural hair movement among African-American women to the possibilities of reversing neuropathological changes due to lead poisoning, preparing students for the AI era to dissecting toxic and discriminatory behavior among “League of Legends” players, research and discovery from the student perspective will be the focus of the day when the State University of New York at Old Westbury holds its “2024 Student Research Day” on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
The 2024 theme for the event, “Gaining Momentum,” has attracted nearly 80 student participants who will present their work through oral presentations, poster exhibits, and artistic displays. A complete copy of the event program is available for download.
While much of the day’s activity surrounds the work of student-researchers enrolled in courses in the University’s schools of Arts and Sciences, Business, Education and Professional Studies, a highlight of the program will be the 12:30 p.m. keynote panel featured Old Westbury faculty members Dr. Svetlana Jović, assistant professor of Psychology, Dr. Nicole Sieben, associate professor of Secondary English Education, and Dr. Sara Williamson, assistant professor of Management, Marketing and Finance.
SUNY Old Westbury’s Student Research Day takes place in the Multipurpose Rooms of the University’s Student Union from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Complete information on the day can be found on the 2024 Student Research Day event page.
