Research Vibes: Changing Ideas into Reality

Prairie View, Texas (January 18, 2023) – The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the need for coordinated responses to globalized problems. From public health to Black Lives Matter, local, state, and national governments across the world are dealing with unprecedented challenges. These critical issues require an interdisciplinary response that is grounded in STEM, humanities, education, and the behavioral & social sciences to understand the human impact and to offer durable solutions. The 2024 conference will bring together undergraduate and graduate students from a wide variety of backgrounds to explore issues of police reform, food security, institutional systemic racism, disaster relief, climate change, educational disparities and inequities, cybersecurity issues, public health, and a host of other issues.
