Falk College and the Falk College Office of Research Development congratulates the winners of the second annual Falk Student Research Celebration, held March 27-30, 2018, as well as all those who participated.
The Falk College Office of Research Development supports Falk faculty research and promotes opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to work directly with faculty to actively contribute to research in public health, food studies, nutrition, sport management, human development and family science, social work, and marriage and family therapy. Initiated in 2017, The Falk Student Research Celebration intends to strengthen skills necessary for research-driven careers, offer a platform for cross-disciplinary feedback, and commend the work of Falk student-researchers.
“The Falk Student Research Celebration allows students to share their research with the broader campus community, as well as develop critical skills for careers in research” says Amy Dumas, grant development specialist in the office of research development. “Students are able to exercise their research skills, collaborate with classmates, and learn from our prominent research faculty. Students compete through a juried review of their work for education funds to present their posters at a conference, attend a conference or seminar, or participate in other types of educational offerings.”
