The Truist Research Symposium showcased the impactful research happening at UNC Charlotte with support from industry partners like Truist. The Symposium was an example of the top-tier research and creative discovery that happens when leaders in industry and education work together to partner, share knowledge and address challenges facing the business community and society at large. A critical element of the five research projects, funded by the Truist Partnership, was the opportunity for collaboration among faculty and students who come to the research from different fields of study and expertise.
