Each year, the Husson University community gathers to honor the achievements of our students and faculty at the Annual Research and Scholarship Day. This event showcases the dedication and hard work of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from all colleges and schools as they present their research findings, capstone projects, graduate theses, and other scholarly endeavors. Held in late April, the day features a dynamic program, including a combined poster session, oral presentations, and an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding students and faculty. The event also highlights a special plenary speaker, adding to the celebration of academic excellence.
