Faculty research and innovation celebrated at IU Northwest, and all IU campuses, for bicentennial
From poetry to prairies to prison, 14 presentations headlined IU Northwest’s inaugural event
Wednesday Oct 09, 2019
Indiana University’s statewide 200 Festival—the official kick-off to IU’s year-long bicentennial celebration—prompted IU Northwest, and all IU campuses, to develop a faculty research showcase designed to highlight faculty scholarship, research, and creative activities.
In eight-minute Tedx-style talks, 14 faculty members expressed just how their research, both preliminary and ongoing, are making an impact in the region and state.
The aim of all the bicentennial events is to celebrate, chronicle, document and explore all that makes IU the world-class university it is today.
“The level of innovation and ingenuity coming from this stage today is remarkable,” said Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Cynthia O’Dell. “IU Northwest’s faculty researchers are among the top experts in their respective fields. Their research is contributing to greater bodies of research that will be making headlines across the nation and globally.”
O’Dell said the campus community was so impressed by what they learned at the September event that it will become an annual affair. In addition, the presentations will be compiled into a webpage that will grow with each passing year.
This article will be updated to include links to each of the individual presentations when available.
The 2019 presentations included:
