Event highlights in-depth work conducted by students, alongside faculty researchers who are experts in their fields.

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ, April 5, 2024 —Centenary University highlighted outstanding research, projects, and professional experiences by 17 students at Centenary’s Showcase 2024 on Thursday, April 4. Centenary student researchers and interns are mentored throughout the process by faculty who are experts in their fields.

“At Centenary University, independent research and opportunities such as study abroad and professional projects shape the academic experiences of our students,” explained Amy D’Olivo, Ph.D., vice president for academic affairs. “Beginning as early as freshman year, Centenary students have the option to work alongside faculty on in-depth research related to their field of study. These experiences often aren’t available to undergraduates at larger universities, and set Centenary alumni apart on applications for graduate school and employment.”

Associate Professor of Sports and Entertainment Management David Perricone, who coordinated the annual event, announced that the following students were selected as presenters:
