Did you complete a research project in the fall semester that you still can’t stop talking about? Are you working on an interesting research project this semester and want to share it with others? Did you work on a project with a community partner? If you answered yes to any of the above, then share your research findings with the Siena community at the Ted Winnowski Student Conference in Business! This conference, held this year on Friday, April 17th from 3:00pm -5:15pm in the SSU, is not only an opportunity for you to present your work in a collegial environment but a great opportunity to build your resume!
