In cooperation with each of the university's colleges, UAH Office of Academic Affairs plans to hold its first campus-wide display of student research in conjunction with Honors Convocation in April 2015. "Our students are involved in a lot of research, creative projects and scholarly activity with faculty, research staff and local stakeholders," says Dave Cook, coordinator of student research programs for the Office of Academic Affairs. "Dissemination of the results of their work is an essential element of research, and this event will provide experience presenting ideas in the format used by many academic conferences. It also creates a forum for students to discuss cutting-edge research and creative topics with peers, faculty, research staff, administrators, family and the local community."
