Research Salon
Research Salons
The Mercy University Research Salon is a monthly presentation series designed to help faculty develop their research in a supportive, low-stakes setting. They also represent an opportunity for the Mercy community (including faculty, staff, and students) to learn more about our colleagues’ research and scholarly contributions. Sessions typically feature 45 minutes of presentation followed by 45 minutes of Q + A.
Salon meetings are open to the university community, and are coordinated by Dr. Saul Fisher, Associate Provost for Research, Grants, and Academic Initiatives. Please direct all questions and inquiries about the Research Salon Series to research@mercy.edu.You can find more information about the Salons scheduled for this academic year below.
Applications for the AY26-27 Research Salon series are now open. Please find a link to the application here. You can reach out to research@mercy.edu with any questions.
