Distinguished Honors Faculty Program: Stories from Research Abroad
Date & Time: September 23, 2026, 6:00 pm–8:00 pm
Location: The Allen Street Grill Downtown State College
Please join Dr. Shomir Wilson over dinner at the Tavern Restaurant as he shares stories from being a visiting researcher at three universities outside the US: Macquarie University in Australia, the National University of Singapore, and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Dr. Wilson's desire for adventures motivated each of the experiences, but they also became assets toward his career goals. Afterward, the group will discuss how to prepare strong applications for funded travel experiences, and how to extract value from rejections and uncertainty that sometimes follow.
