Faculty Research Day

Faculty Research Day 2024

Faculty Research Day, October 9, 2024
1 p.m. – 2:25 p.m., Student Center, Multipurpose Room

Question: What is Faculty Research Day?
Answer: A great event held at the beginning of the fall semester to spotlight the research and performance achievements of a broad spectrum of individual faculty members at Hofstra.

Fact: Hofstra’s very active and accomplished faculty perform advanced work – research in the broadest sense – across many different disciplines and their work gets recognized by presentation, publication, citation, professional acknowledgments and various awards.

Challenge: Students and even fellow faculty are generally not aware of the range, variety and nature of all the research taking place at the University. It’s fascinating and useful for all of us to learn what we each do as professionals in our respective fields.

Audience: Primarily students at all levels, especially first-year students, who are the least familiar with 1) the range of disciplines and possibilities at the university, and 2) with the nature and depth of research (in the broadest sense) by individual faculty members, and 3) with the methods of different fields that they might still choose to pursue as a major or a minor. More advanced students will be able to envisage future work in a field and discuss research with faculty they might not know otherwise. Faculty will meet each other in terms of professional activity and forge connections that might be productive professionally in terms of teaching or research, and certainly interesting in terms of what Hofstra offers.

Format: Faculty members present their research accomplishments, past and present, completed and ongoing, in poster form (only) for discussion. Posters can show book covers, images of research topics and activities, exemplary excerpts of analysis, graphs, critical reviews of work, problem statements and responses – in short, anything that conveys the adventure of discovery and methods of the field in a vivid, engaging way to promote discussion! A poster cannot be all-encompassing: faculty can supplement with a laptop slideshow of images, copies of excerpts, offprints, or other take-away examples of the type of research or performance.

Benefits:

Students meet faculty, browse major and minor fields, and get an insight into how a discipline works and what is possible in a field, and how it relates to other possibilities in that discipline and beyond. They also realize what faculty do and start to see how it relates to what is taught in the classroom (which is a very different dynamic than in high school). Students can start to envision the kind of work, or career, they might one day pursue.

First-Year programs (First-Year Connections, Writing Studies & Composition, and Honors College’s Culture & Expression) will discuss different assignments to encourage attendance and involvement by their students.

Faculty presenters engage in selfless self-promotion for the greater good! And meet students and faculty members they might otherwise never meet, creating interest in and respect for their work, and developing an audience for their expertise.

Departments can put forward their faculty to represent the discipline, recruit potential majors and minors from among undecided first-year students and beyond. Also, more advanced students may want to add a major or minor.

The University elevates its research profile on campus and contributes to Undergraduate Research initiatives that increase student retention by increasing student-faculty contact across the disciplines and engaging them in the possibility of in-depth inquiry into the fundamentals of a discipline. Faculty members present themselves as Hofstra’s greatest educational resource!

Time and Location: Faculty Research Day will take place in the Student Center Multipurpose Room from 1:00 p.m. until 2:25p.m. on October 9, 2024.
