Students Share Research during Scholars Day

Posted By: Hija Chang on May 04, 2016

An explosion of brainpower was on display during Winston-Salem State University’s 2016 Scholarship Day.

More than 160 poster presentations were on display, featuring student research projects on subjects ranging from improving endurance performance to using robotics to reduce stress in children.

Lisa Mansfield, a graduate student from Connecticut pursuing a master’s degree in nursing, was among the presenters.

She shared the results of her research on “Parental Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Knowledge, Awareness and Intentions to Vaccinate their Daughters.” HPV is a virus that can cause serious genital infections. A vaccination is encouraged for females before they become sexually active; however, many parents don’t have their daughters vaccinated for HPV.
