Research in Focus is a signature series dedicated to highlighting the diverse research and scholarly work of Yorkville University’s faculty and staff with a special emphasis on research outcomes and its impact.

Each one-hour session features two engaging 20-minute presentations, followed by a 20-minute Q&A and open discussion. Speakers share not only what they discovered, how their research was conducted, but also how findings contribute to their fields, community, and institution research culture. By showcasing the research impact, Research in Focus fosters dialogue, sparks disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration, and strengthens a culture of inquiry at Yorkville University. 

Whether you are presenting your work or joining as an engaged participant, this series invites you to connect, reflect, and explore new ways research can transform education and support student success.
