From the interaction of atoms to changes in immigrant behaviors to religious and social movements in 20th century Israel and Egypt, research and discovery from the world-renowned to the campus-based will be the focus of the day when the State University of New York at Old Westbury holds “2018 Student Research Day: Movement & Motion” on Tuesday, April 17.

“SUNY Old Westbury’s Student Research Day is always an exciting event,” said College President Calvin O. Butts, III.  “This program showcases the curiosity, intellect and drive of our students as they share their findings. Through their work, they provide the real evidence of how our small college, committed to offering a strong liberal arts foundation, prepares students to succeed whether their field of interest is in the sciences, public policy, business, education or beyond.”

The 2018 theme for the event is “Movement & Motion” which has attracted nearly 150 student participants who will present their work through oral presentations, poster exhibits, and artistic displays. The program will also feature a keynote address by noted theoretical physicist Dr. Sylvester James Gates Jr.  SUNY Old Westbury’s Student Research Day takes place in the Multipurpose Rooms of the College’s Student Union. From 11:20 a.m. to 7 p.m. Complete information on the day can be found at www.oldwestbury.edu/research-day-2018.
