WILMINGTON, Ohio (April 20, 2026)—Wilmington College is presenting its 15 th annual Student and Faculty Research Forum on Saturday morning (April 25), from 9:30 to 11 a.m., in the McCoy Room of Kelly Center.

Dozens of individuals and teams will display their research via posters and other presentation media. Their research projects span academic disciplines, while faculty, staff, students and members of the greater community have a chance to peruse the presentations and learn firsthand from student researchers.

Dr. Angela Mitchell, professor of business administration and associate vice president for academic affairs, is one of the Research Forum coordinators. “This event allows our students to put into practice the expertise they have developed in their academic program,” she said. “They get to apply the classroom work to real-world research questions. And through the Research Forum, they have the platform to showcase the relevance of their work to their field.”

Awards will be presented to the Best in Class for Agriculture, Business Administration/Accounting, Education, Fine Arts/Communications, Humanities, Natural Science, Social Science, Sport Sciences, and Graduate Programs. Also, there will be special recognition for Best Student/Faculty Collaboration, a President’s Council Award, and an Athletics Award.
