Description
It is my joy to be here today. I agree with Judy Stout who was here this morning that doing the honors program in nursing has absolutely been the most exciting thing I have done professionally. It continues to surprise me what the students are able to put together in their honors projects-their scholarship, willingness to investigate clinically relevant problems and ability to carry the project through to completion. What I wanted to talk to you today is how honors students can do presentations and publications--a topic that really applies to all of our programs, both those that are university based and those that are departmentally based. There are many options for presentations and publications and these are growing. This stage of dissemination is particularly important to the work because it brings closure to the student's scholastic process, allows for peer critique and encourages students to engage in dialog with others from numerous backgrounds and levels on the topics of the student's work. Thus it is an important stage in their professional development. Participation in undergraduate research conferences is an open area nationally for the development of our students and I think we in Alabama have a tremendous opportunity to send our students to the national levels. This promotes not only the quality of education of our state but also supports our curricula as we get new ideas and have the potential to develop our program further.
