ATLANTA — Mercer University’s 15th annual Atlanta and Regional Academic Centers Research Conference will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 5, in the Administration and Conference Center building on Mercer’s Atlanta campus. The conference will showcase work by students and faculty representing all colleges across Mercer’s Atlanta, Macon, Douglas County and Henry County locations.
“The conference showcases new research initiatives across a wide array of disciplines from students and faculty on the Atlanta campus and the Regional Academic Centers,” said Dr. Wayne Glasgow, senior vice provost for research. “It provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to learn about their colleagues’ scholarship and may stimulate ideas regarding their own research efforts.”
The opening ceremony will include the presentation of student research awards and a keynote panel discussion exploring the science and research on machine learning and artificial intelligence with current and future implications from varied perspectives.
Dr. Cameron Miller, associate professor of psychology and chair of the Department of Human Services and Psychology in the College of Professional Advancement, has coordinated the conference since 2016.
“This year, we’re thrilled to have a record number of poster and talk presentations, as this conference provides an excellent opportunity for faculty and students to come together and showcase their research endeavors,” Dr. Miller said.
All events will be held in the Administration and Conference Center. The conference is free and open to all Mercer faculty, students and staff.
