For the past seventeen years, the Office of Sponsored Programs and the Faculty Senate Research and Scholarship Council has brought the William Paterson commu‐ nity “University Research and Scholarship Day.” Originally started as “University Research Day” in 1999, it was a single day event for faculty and students to share their recent scholarly research and creative works. The first program just included concurrent presentations in the morning and after‐ noon. In the years that followed, additional activities were added including poster sessions as well as the College and campus council and committee arranged, or “sponsored” presentations. In 2001 it became “University Research and Scholarship Day”, which is what it had been called until this year. In 2015 the number of days was expanded to three with poster sessions scheduled for every day and other events included as well. Fueled on inspiration from Provost Sandmann, and with the coopera‐ tion with the Honors College, the Undergraduate Research Symposium, the Cheng Library, and oth‐ ers on campus, we have developed this new program: EXPLORATIONS. EXPLORATIONS continues the foundation set by “University Research and Scholarship Day,” a more expansive and inclusive schedule of events will run from April 9 to April 22. The new struc‐ ture creates more opportunities for sharing of research and creative works across discipline bounda‐ ries to bring together the entire campus community. The inaugural year of EXPLORATIONS will have eight distinct events: the 10th Annual Undergrad‐ uate Research Symposium, the Honors Week Student Research Presentations, the Cheng Library New Authors Reception, College and Council Sponsored Presentations, the 2016 Garden State Un‐ dergraduate Mathematics Conference of the Mathematics Associate of American—NJ, a UPS Distin‐ guished Lecture courtesy of the Computer Science Department, Poster Presentations, and Advanc‐ ing Research, Scholarship and Creative Expression at WP: a Conference. William Paterson University’s symbol is the pioneer. A pioneer is someone who does something, or goes somewhere, that few, if any, have before. A pioneer looks for opportunities to leave their mark by researching or working on new and exciting topics. But this alone does not make a pioneer. For it is the sharing with others of this gained knowledge and insight that is the most important responsi‐ bility a pioneer has. And that is what we showcase here with EXPLORATIONS. Here we have pre‐ senters who recognized areas of need and took it upon themselves, with the help of offices, organi‐ zations, and colleagues to address those needs to benefit others. The Office of Sponsored Programs would like to thank the Research and Scholarship Council, every‐ one previously involved in the Research and Scholarship Day, and the participants and presenters from over the years. Special thanks are offered to the Faculty Senate and the Office of the Provost for their inspiration, guidance and encouragement. We would especially like to thank some individ‐ uals who committed much time and effort over the years: Professor Frank Pavese from the Music Department, the late Dr. Amy Job from the Library, Dr. David Gilley and Dr. Jorge Arevalo, and Dr. Pixy Ferris from the Communications Department. Happy Exploring!
