The Society of President’s Scholars, in conjunction with Career Services, the Honors Program, and the Provost’s Office, are proud to sponsor the Celebration of Scholars, an interdisciplinary symposium spotlighting exceptional student work throughout campus.
The symposium is open to all undergraduate and graduate students at Northwest and may include work completed over the last year or before. Faculty and staff are encouraged to recommend the symposium to students and to sponsor their best work, and students are encouraged to submit their work. If you have a student working on a project and believe they will have a completed or mostly completed project to present by April 11th and you are willing to sponsor that student, please encourage the student to submit their work starting February. We especially encourage you to ask graduating seniors who are working on final senior projects to think about this.
Submissions are due by Friday, March 22 before 11:59 p.m.
This year’s symposium will be noon to 6:00 p.m. Thursday, April 11th. Sessions will take place throughout the afternoon while posters, artwork, and other projects will be displayed throughout the event.
The symposium gives the University community a chance to see the work students are completing across disciplines, and it gives participating students an audience beyond the classroom. In past years, students have presented creative writing, original research, and analytical papers. They have given speeches, conducted panel discussions, and displayed original works of art and visual summaries of their projects in science, education and business. They also have presented dramatic readings and played or analyzed music, and some have presented other original work or projects completed in class or during internships. The selection committee is open to new and innovative approaches in what students want to present and how they would like to present it!
