成人直播

KENNESAW, Ga. | Apr 24, 2025

Students at 成人直播 are often led to research through personal connections, demonstrating how passion can spark action.

Student researchers presented their findings last week at the Spring Symposium of Student Scholars, a three-day event hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Research that allows students to explain their work in a public forum.

Adama Diallo described how her background as a direct support professional allowed her to witness firsthand how critical constant observation and emotional support are for individuals who are more vulnerable to sudden health changes or injury.

That led to a project that investigated how remote virtual monitoring technology can be used to enhance patient safety by reducing falls in high-risk patients.

鈥淚 cared for an elderly patient with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which deeply shaped my understanding of the need for real-time monitoring and rapid response in clinical settings,鈥� Diallo said. 鈥淭o me, virtual monitoring isn鈥檛 just a piece of technology; it鈥檚 an essential layer of safety and wellbeing for individuals who truly deserve it.鈥�

Diallo鈥檚 project earned first runner-up honors in the graduate student category.

The top graduate award went to Rupali Mangotra, whose research aims to provide novel insight into the magnetocaloric effect, which can lead to sustainable magnetic cooling technology.

鈥淚 was a bit nervous before my talk at the Symposium, especially since it was my first time giving an oral presentation, but I was confident in my understanding of the work, and that helped me present it effectively,鈥� Mangotra said. 鈥淩eceiving this award at this stage in my master鈥檚 degree means a lot. It feels reassuring to know that my work has the potential to stand out.鈥�

Over the course of three days 379 research projects were presented, showcasing work from both undergraduate and graduate students. These projects offered the Symposium attendees a versatile experience.

At one poster attendees could listen to an analysis of the impact the French had on Canadian classical music, then within a few steps witness the design for a walking robot intended to provide general assistance.

In addition to the posters, each college at 成人直播 was represented in oral presentations and performances both in-person and virtually.

鈥淢y experience at the symposium was wonderful. One of the most important factors about research is being able to share and discuss it with as many people as possible, and the Symposium gives us a place to do so,鈥� said Laura Wilkinson, whose project investigated C-reactive protein and its relationship with mood disturbances such as depression and stress, which finished second runner-up in the undergraduate category.

Throughout the event, each presentation was carefully considered for the top presentation awards, one for graduate students, and the other for undergraduates, as well as the first and second runners-up in each category.

The Symposium provides students of all disciplines a chance to learn what goes into a research project and how to present it; all while learning and developing new skills that will benefit them in their futures.

鈥淚t is continuously inspiring to see both undergraduate and graduate students present such impactful, innovative research, supported by faculty mentors,鈥� said Director of Undergraduate Research Amy Buddie. 鈥淓vents like this are vital for championing a culture of discovery and giving students the platform they deserve to share their work with the broader academic community here are 成人直播 and beyond.鈥�
