In 2016, the provost added a fall symposium dedicated to research by senior faculty. That same academic year, research by Fant Memorial Library staff began to be included in this series.
The Symposium is organized by a committee comprised of faculty from each university college and an at-large representative. The committee members work with their respective deans, who determine the selection of presenters.
The committee members for this year’s Provost’s Faculty Symposium series are as follows:
- Ashley Chisolm, Esq. (College of Business and Professional Studies)
- Dr. Lorraine Gaddis (College of Nursing and Health Sciences)
