Research Symposium
March 30 – April 3, 2009
“Building bridges to discovery by creating a culture of
INQUIRY”
As Tennessee State University builds on its reputation
as a renowned research institution, it continues to
provide its students with opportunities to present
academic work in a public setting that offers important
preparation for graduate school, professional programs,
and career development. Current areas of research
include, but are not limited to, astrobiology, genomics,
nanotechnology, sensors, bioinformatics and
environmental studies. The 2009 Research Symposium
extends those efforts to bring together visionary
artists and thinkers from across the campus, breaking
new ground in the areas of music, dance, performance,
visual arts and technology.
Tennessee State University’s 31st Annual University-wide
Research Symposium will be an extraordinary five-day
interdisciplinary celebration showcasing the range of
faculty/staff-mentored student research that is being
conducted across all academic disciplines. This event
will mark the first year that the symposium will offer
visual and performing arts, workshops, exhibits,
demonstrations, displays, tutorials and other forms of
intellectual exploration designed to engage and
enlighten future researchers and artisans from area high
schools.
