10/19/2009

Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences will hold a Faculty Research Symposium on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 4-5:30 p.m. in rm. 139 of Tucker Technology Center. The event is free and open to attend; refreshments will be served. There will be three research symposiums in the fall and three in the spring. Each of the symposiums will highlight two faculty who are working on grants, manuscripts, or books.

Presenters on Oct. 27 include:

Dr. Harriet Cohen (social work): “Memory, Resiliency, and Survivorship in Older Holocaust Survivors”

Dr. Meena Shah (kinesiology): “Effect of a High Fiber Diet on Calcium and Other Mineral Balance in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes”

“This new activity will highlight many of our outstanding researchers,” said Dr. Debbie Rhea, symposium coordinator and Harris College’s Associate Dean for Research. “We have so much going on in our college and very few individuals in each of the departments have an idea what other colleagues are doing.”

The next Harris College Faculty Research Symposium will be held in the same location, on Dec. 1. Future dates will be held in the spring, featuring other faculty research. For more information, contact d.rhea@tcu.edu or call ext. 6861.
