The sixth annual Adelphi Research Conference was held on Monday, April 20, 2009. The conference featured 70 poster presentations and 20 oral presentations by undergraduate and graduate students. The conference would not be possible without the ongoing research, creative and scholarly work of our students and the support of their faculty mentors. Special thanks to the President and Provost for their continued support and encouragement. Again we thank the conference co-chairs, Drs. Francine Conway and Sean Bentley, and the conference committee for all their work and continued commitment.
