Dr. Joan Guetti, Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
Dr. Phyllis Hansell, Dean of the College of Nursing
Dr. Brian Shulman, Dean of the School of Health and Medical Sciences
Dr. Joyce Strawser, Dean of the Stillman School of Business
In addition, ten Ph.D. students in the Molecular Bioscience Program presented their literature studies in Neuroimmune Pharmacology. Three poster presentations shared with the University at-large the passion of Seton Hall’s own Institute of Neuroimmune Pharmacolgy, a major sponsor of the annual Petersheim Academic Exposition.
The Annual Petersheim Academic Exposition is a university-wide event that celebrates the scholarly achievement of undergraduate and graduate students through the sights and sounds of academic knowledge and its application. The EXPO is aligned with Seton Hall University's mission in several ways, honoring the innovative spirit of its founder, Matthew Petersheim, PhD, associate professor of chemistry, who passed away in 1998.
The Petersheim Academic Exposition steering committee encourages faculty members to support the academic exposition by incorporating student presentations within their courses this semester. Faculty Sponsors will then encourage students to present their work in research symposia, poster sessions, presentations, panel discussions, theatrical performances, art exhibits, debates, concerts and more. The steering committee encourages the incorporation of honorary ceremonies, discipline-specific speakers or other programming that may take place during and around the time of the academic exposition.
Faculty sponsors are encouraged to support students participating in TLTC workshops for developing effective posters and presentations and review the re-designed poster templates provided. The TLTC will provide raffles for students participating in the workshops. Please direct students to the workshop schedule on the web site.

Resources for Participating as a Presenter in the EXPO
Throughout the five-day exposition, students are invited to present oral and/or poster presentations. In the spirit of the exposition "Share, Honor, Unite" and in light of mentorship, the steering committee encourages junior and senior level students to 'share' their knowledge, expertise and skills with freshmen and sophomores while graduate students may 'share' their knowledge, expertise and skills with undergraduate students. Students may 'honor' mentors, whether fellow students or faculty, and students and faculty 'unite' in their efforts to "bring knowledge to life" that elevates academic inquiry, interest and recognition.
