Research Month 2012
Each year, during the month of April, St. John's University hosts a
number of events that focuses on the extraordinary research of
faculty and students. Designated as Research Month, these events
take place on the Queens and Staten Island campuses, where students
present their research projects to the campus community. On
April 11–19, the Queens campus held film screenings and performance
arts, poster session in the Taffner Field House, fine arts
presentations, and panel discussions.
There was a day of research-related events on the Staten Island
campus (April 19). Christopher Cuccia, Academic Assistant Vice
President, Staten Island campus noted that, "Student Research Day
on the Staten Island campus has traditionally provided an
opportunity for students to showcase their scholarly research and
unique academic interests. This year was no different, as over 90
students were mentored by faculty members on research projects that
spanned the academic disciplines. More than 40 laptop and/or poster
presentations were on display.”
The occasion highlighted the significant academic accomplishments
of our students. In addition to the research presentations,
there were activities geared toward faculty including, Faculty
Research Forum, a reception honoring grant recipients, and a
Faculty Book Reception. On April 26, the Center for Teaching
and Learning Technology Fellows presented their research on
teaching and technology. During the month, there were also three
interdisciplinary research lunches focused on Research
Methodology and The New York Public Library
(NYPL), Vincentian Institute of Social Action
(VISA), the University Mission, and Writing
Biography.
“These events create an opportunity for students and faculty to
share their research experiences as well as gain insight in the
year ahead,” said Maura Flannery, Director of the Center for
Teaching and Learning, Queens campus.
