Research Seminar Series

The Research Support Group hosts several Research Methods Seminars each semester to showcase the work of professional researchers. This series is designed to encourage creative and collaborative research design for faculty at AU, as well as increase students' awareness of research trends and methods. The speakers are invited to share a recent research project with particular emphasis on method selection, implementation and analysis.

Student Research Forum

This forum is sponsored by CTRL's Research Support Group. It highlights AU student research and allows students to share their learning experiences with selected research methods. The presentation will emphasize the researcher's method selection, implementation and analysis.
