Longwood’s graduate students presented their work on Research Day, Wednesday, April 26 for the 3rd Annual Graduate Research Symposium at the Greenwood Library. An impressive turnout of attendees engaged with the presenters, asked questions, and listened while the graduate students explained their research methods and findings.
At the graduate level, research and inquiry are an integral part of all programs and concentrations. Graduate students develop research skills, practice research in the field, and become contributors and leaders in their profession. By looking at research and inquiry across disciplines, we learn about and gain more respect and understanding of everyone's field of study.
Thank you to all of the graduate students who participated, and the many hours of hard work involved in each research subject. Great work!
