Support Petersheim
Join Us in Celebrating 30 Years of Student Scholarship
For 30 years, the Petersheim Academic Exposition has showcased the very best of Seton Hall — undergraduate and graduate students presenting research, creative work, and scholarly achievement alongside dedicated faculty mentors.
As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, you are invited to help strengthen the next generation of student scholars. Honor the legacy of Dr. Matthew Petersheim and invest in the next 30 years of student scholarship.
Help Students Take Their Research Beyond Campus
Each year, outstanding student presenters are selected to receive Research Travel Awards - grants that support presenting their work at regional, national, and international conferences.
For many students, this is a transformational opportunity:
- Sharing research with leaders in their field
- Building professional networks
- Strengthening graduate school and career applications
- Representing Seton Hall on a national stage
Yet funding for these opportunities is limited.
Your support helps remove financial barriers and ensures that more students can take their work beyond campus.
Your Impact
- $500 supports regional conference travel
- $1,000 supports national conference participation
- Leadership gifts can fund multiple student awards
Every gift directly advances undergraduate research and experiential learning — core priorities of Seton Hall’s mission and academic excellence.
Why It Matters
Petersheim represents more than an event.
It reflects Seton Hall’s commitment to:
- Rigorous academic inquiry
- Faculty-mentored research
- Interdisciplinary collaboration
- Student success beyond graduation
Undergraduate research strengthens technical expertise, communication skills, critical thinking, and adaptability — preparing students to lead in a rapidly changing world.
