2016 Research Day

April 30 was Pacific's Research Day at the DeRosa University Center on the Stockton Campus. This event, combined for the second year with the Pacific Undergraduate Research and Creativity Conference (PURCC), showcased the research and creative endeavors of Pacific's faculty and graduate and undergraduate students via poster and oral presentations. All told, more than 150 poster and oral presentations were made and hundreds of faculty, staff, students and family members attended the event to celebrate the excellent scholarship taking place at Pacific.

The midday program included remarks by Provost Pallavicini and the Faculty Research Lecturer Award recipient, Dr. Teresa Bergman, and the presentation of faculty and undergraduate awards by the Provost and Dr. Lydia Fox, Director of Undergraduate Research.
