The 16th Annual Husson University Research and Scholarship Day, scheduled for Thursday, April 16, 2026, will showcase student and faculty research in areas including artificial intelligence, extended reality, fatigue, pain management and substance use disorder.

The event is held in the Beardsley Meeting House Atrium and begins at 8:30am. Authors will be on hand to talk about their posters and their research beginning at 11am. There will also be several oral presentations in The Gracie Theatre during the morning. The research presented will include more than 45 projects from a variety of disciplines. 

Some research and scholarship highlights include: 

  • An Early Warning System for Campus Cyberattack Risks
  • A Browser-Embedded XR Simulation Model for Experiential Animal Behavior Training in Online STEM Education

At 1pm, the Plenary Session will begin with welcoming remarks as well as the awarding of the Distinguished Faculty Research Award. Each year, this award is presented to a faculty member who has engaged in scholarly work that’s been recognized or reviewed by his, her or their peers. A highlight of the day will be the keynote address delivered by Dr. Jude Maul, scheduled from 1:00pm to 2:30pm in the Gracie Theatre.
