Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of the OCOM Student Research Conference, now in its third year. If you have attended a previous year, you know it was an exciting and enlightening summer evening, including a delicious dinner! As listed below, previous topics ranged from QiGong, a Practice Based Research Network called qiPartner, and many things in between.

This year’s conference will take place on July 28th from 5:30-8:00pm. Students in their final year at OCOM will be giving talks (and receiving prizes) on their year-long research projects. As usual attendance to the conference is free and open to all OCOM students, staff and faculty as well as community members. We hope to see you there!
