TRANSPORT Symposium
Each year, we host an interdisciplinary health research symposium that brings together
students, faculty, trainees, partner organizations, and local stakeholders to share
their work and connect with experts across multiple fields. The event highlights innovative
research and emerging methodologies aimed at improving health outcomes. Faculty from
each of our five colleges are invited to participate. The symposium features a keynote
address from a distinguished health research leader, along with three to five additional
speakers, followed by poster presentations from students, trainees, and faculty.
