First Summer Seminar Held

Event Date:	June 8, 2005

The topic of Proprioception, Gait Kinematics, and Rate of Loading During Walking: Are They Related?, presented by graduate student Jody Riskowsi, premiered the 2005 Summer Seminar series at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. This series, held for students, faculty, staff, and prospective students, allows students the opportunity to present research and develop presentation skills in a friendly and supportive environment. After the presentation, there is a session for technical questions, then a session to provide feedback and constructive criticism on the presentation itself.

Students who take part in the series are eligible for the Fearnot Prize. Dr. Neal Fearnot, a Purdue alumnus and president of MED Institute, established this award because he felt that the experience he gained as a student presenter at the BME summer seminar series was extremely valuable. The award is presented to the graduate student whose presentation receives the highest evaluation from the faculty, students and staff attending the seminars.
