Acknowledgements

Research Days has grown into one of the most coveted academic events on campus. On behalf of the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CURF), I would like to recognize the support and hard work of those who made the 2024 Research Days possible.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to President Lamont Repollet for his generous support for Research Days. I am grateful for his leadership and advocacy in championing student research initiatives. The event began in 2009 with 90 students taking part and this year more than 1,200 students will present their research and creative work.

I would also like to thank Dr. David Birdsell, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dr. Sue Porterfield, Vice President for Research, for their unwavering support of all forms of student research and their relentless encouragement.

The success of our Research Days has made me overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible dedication and support of our faculty research mentors and student researchers in creating a thriving research culture at Kean University.

Lastly, I am thankful to all members of the CURF staff who were involved in all aspects of Research Days.

Together, we have established an environment where curiosity thrives and ideas flourish. Our shared enthusiasm for research and creativity has made Research Days a platform where groundbreaking discoveries are celebrated and meaningful connections are forged.

Respectfully,
