The Eagle Eye with Dr. Weindorf
For many, spring represents a time of connection, growth, and rejuvenation, as the warmer weather heralds a time of cultivation and symbiosis in nature.
Georgia Southern has welcomed spring in much the same spirit. In April, we took full advantage of the season and gathered together to share new ideas, insights, and perspectives at several research symposia.
These include the Center for Undergraduate Research and Intellectual Opportunities (CURIO) symposium, which serves as the premier on-campus event for students from the College of Arts and Humanities to showcase their research and scholarly pursuits.
Similarly, the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering & Computing held its annual Engineering Research Symposium. Additionally, the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health hosted its first-ever Creative Scholars Showcase in conjunction with National Public Health Week, with a special emphasis on student research. To cap things off, we hosted another successful GS4 symposium last week, with sessions on both the Statesboro and Savannah campuses. GS4 is our largest such event, highlighting research from all of our colleges.
These events are opportunities for our students to connect with others whom they might not otherwise meet. They provide students with a chance to grow professionally, find inspiration, and share discoveries that drive innovation.
They allow us to bring together all the values that define Georgia Southern and turn them into action, ensuring that our work is not only reflected in metrics but in the real world.
In closing, I would like to thank all the faculty, staff, and students who make these events possible. It’s because of your hard work and dedication that they are imbued with such creativity, passion, and togetherness.
As the great polymath Isaac Newton once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Thank you for being a part of those shoulders for the next generation.
