Radford University President Brian O. Hemphill will keynote the daylong celebration of original research and service by the WCHHS faculty and students.

“We always look forward to this chance to showcase the research, scholarly work and service performed by the college’s dynamic faculty and students in its programs,” said WCHHS Dean Kenneth Cox. 

The IPS&E will include 21 podium presentations and almost 80 poster presentations from graduate and undergraduate students and faculty. 

“The programs and presentations featured demonstrate the natural collaboration between students, faculty and clinical partners that integrate scholarship into teaching and service,” said WCHHS Associate Dean Corey Cassidy.
