Abstract
Welcome to the 2026 Hawk Talks Conference—a campus-wide celebration of student scholarship at the KU Edwards Campus. This year’s program highlights the impressive work of students from Applied Biological Sciences, Biotechnology, Criminal Justice, Environmental Studies,
Health Sciences, and Information Technology, reflecting the breadth of inquiry and applied learning that defines our programs.
Hawk Talks provides students the opportunity to share the outcomes of capstone projects, honors research, and independent investigations. The presentations gathered here showcase not only what students have learned, but how they’ve learned to ask strong questions, pursue evidence,
and communicate findings with confidence—skills at the heart of a KU Edwards Campus education.
Inside this book, you’ll find the full presentation schedule, along with abstracts and brief biographies for each presenter. Each contribution represents sustained effort over many months, and we are proud to offer a platform where student work is treated with the seriousness, attention, and respect it deserves.
More than a single-day event, Hawk Talks is designed to spark conversation and build connections—between disciplines, peers, the university, and the wider community. Whether you are presenting, cheering on a colleague, visiting as a community or industry partner, or attending to
learn something new, your participation helps make this experience meaningful.
To every student presenter: thank you for the time, persistence, and integrity you brought to
your work. We hope the ideas shared today continue to grow—well beyond these pages and into
what comes next.
