Dear Students,
I am delighted to invite you to participate in Warner Research Days 2026, taking place March 20-21. This two-day event brings our vibrant school community together to celebrate the incredible research and scholarly work happening across Warner—and to spark new ideas and connections along the way.
Warner Research Days are designed to highlight student and faculty research, encourage meaningful conversations, and create space for learning from one another. Whether you’re presenting your own work or attending to explore what’s happening across the school, there’s something here for everyone.
What to expect:
- Faculty Research Symposium & Networking Reception
Friday, March 20 | 5 to 7 p.m. | 2nd Floor LeChase Hall
Meet faculty, connect with fellow students, and explore innovative research in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
- Student Research Showcase & Awards Ceremony
Saturday, March 21 | 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. | 2nd Floor LeChase Hall
Share your work, learn from your students, and get inspired! A reception and awards ceremony will follow.
You’re encouraged to participate however it feels right to you. Whether you're presenting research from a dissertation, a class project, or simply curious about the work being done at Warner, this event is for you. Your participation—whether as a presenter, supporter, or curious attendee—makes a difference. Every form of participation strengthens our academic community. Register to attend or present by February 13.
You can also explore highlights from last year’s Inaugural Warner Research Days 2025 to get a sense of what’s in store. I hope you’ll join us for this engaging and energizing event.
Meliora,
Melissa Sturge-Apple, PhD
