| UVI student Tricia Greaux explains her research. |
University of the Virgin Islands students, faculty and staff researchers displayed the results of their work on Research Day on April 6, in the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center on the St. Thomas campus and the Great Hall on the Albert A. Sheen Campus on St. Croix.
Research Day featured roundtable discussions and poster presentations detailing research in science, mathematics, marine biology, education, sociology and nursing. “I am just as impressed as I was last year and maybe even more so about the amount of research that our faculty members are engaged in and our students,” said UVI President Dr. David Hall. “It is also impressive to see that so much of it really relates to problems or challenges that exist in the Virgin Islands.”
