We hope that you will be able to join us on Friday, October 11, at our 36TH Annual Research Day where students, residents, fellows, and postdoctoral researchers will present their research findings. This event gives young investigators the opportunity to exchange ideas and information with peers, colleagues, mentors, and faculty.
The event will be held from 11:30 AM-5:00 PM in Waitzer Hall on the medical campus. You don’t need to attend all day to show support for our trainees. This year, we will have just under 200 poster presenters who are eager to share their research with attendees! See below for more information.
Parking
Reciprocal parking is available for employees coming from the main ODU campus who have ODU parking privileges. Park in Visitor Garage A (on Wagner Rd.) and visit the Parking Manager’s office on the 1ST floor of the parking garage to get your ticket validated.
Research Day Website
This year’s information and abstracts are still being loaded onto the Research Day website, but we expect it to go live on Monday or Tuesday. On this website, you will be able to view more details about the day’s schedule of events, browse abstracts, and get more information. An updated announcement will be posted once the website goes live.
