The Research Initiative for Scientific
Enhancement (RISE) Program at Fayetteville State University is
funded through a grant from the National Institutes of Health. The
goal of the FSU-RISE Program is to increase the number of
well-prepared Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology FSU graduates from
underrepresented minority groups who enter graduate programs in the
biomedical and behavioral sciences.
The theme of the Sixth Annual FSU-RISE
Research Colloquium is “Rising to Meet Tomorrow’s Challenges through
Research”. The program will begin with a plenary lecture. The
plenary lecture will be given by Dr. Erin White, Assistant
Professor of Biology at Fayetteville State University.
Following the plenary lecture, there will be a Poster Session where
FSU students will present their research and an Exhibitor Session in
which representatives from several graduate schools will have exhibits. Immediately following the morning
activities, there will be a luncheon and keynote address. This
year’s luncheon keynote speaker is Dr. Elwood Robinson,
Dean of College of Behavioral &. Social Sciences at North Carolina
Central University. The afternoon session will consist of oral
presentations by FSU Faculty, describing their ongoing research
projects.
The Colloquium will be a joint venture hosted with the FSU
Math/Science Education Center.
