Ranger Research Day
Students of the Charles Morton Share Trust Division of Nursing received a perfect score for their research project at the 18th annual Ranger Research day at the Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Alva campus.
Graduate and undergraduate students created poster presentations of academic research papers conducted in one of their classes. 27 individuals participated and had the opportunity to share and discuss their research with peers, professors and the Alva community.
Student poster entries were critiqued and eligible for awards. The mission of Oklahoma Research Day is to promote cross-campus and cross-disciplinary research. In doing so, the event seeks to encourage networking among scholars and the exchange of ideas among those studying and researching in their respective academic disciplines. All presenters are encouraged to attend Oklahoma Research Day on March 8, 2024, at the University of Central Oklahoma.
