Preparation is underway for IUP’s upcoming annual Research Appreciation Week.
The week will highlight innovation and collaboration in disciplines throughout the university community. It will also recognize the contributions that IUP’s original research and scholarship has made to the region, state and elsewhere.
As part of that celebration, the university’s Women in STEM group will hold their 21st annual summit at John J. and Char Kopchick Hall on April 6th. A keynote speech will be delivered by IUP alumna, council of trustees Vice Chairperson and president of the Kuzneski Insurance Group Laurie Kuzneski. IUP Interim Dean of the College of Health Sciences and Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Dr. Hilliary Creely said in a statement that “Events like this matter because they elevate women’s contributions to STEM and give students the opportunity to see—and imagine themselves as—the next generation of STEM leaders.”
Other events for the week include the STEAMSHOP Satellite Office Open House at Stapleton Library on April 7th and several other demonstrations and lectures.
All events are open to the public and are free to attend.
