MUW College Research Day set for April 1

COLUMBUS, Miss. – Mississippi University for Women’s College of
Nursing and Speech-Language Pathology will host its first College Research Day and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday in Parkinson Hall, Nissan Auditorium.

The program will begin at 1 p.m. where PowerPoint presentations will be
given by graduating baccalaureate nursing students. At 2:30 p.m., awards
will be presented to the students. Afterwards refreshments will be offered in Martin Hall, which will be followed by poster presentations and previews of research work done by master nursing students and speech-language pathology students.

Instead of having separate awards ceremony for each program of nursing
and only a Baccalaureate Program Research Day like in the past, this year’s award ceremony and research presentations will combine both BSN
and MSN groups into a single day.

The awards ceremony is open for anyone on campus who would like to
attend.

“We believe that this event will be a great opportunity for current students or prospective students who are interested in undergraduate or graduate research,” said Dr. Sandra Jordan, MUW provost and vice president for academic affairs.
