Student Success

20th Annual Celebration of Scholarship Symposium (2021)

Greetings

This year, we received submissions from presenters from diverse colleges, and we are glad that you have opted to attend the symposium. We hope that this year’s symposium will be yet another intellectually stimulating event.

The abstracts cover a wide range of methodological approaches. Some presenters are passionate about education and mental health, while others are passionate about genetic disorders.

We hope that as we celebrate our campus’s discoveries and research, we also take time to remember the gift of Christ and God’s love during these seasons. We also invite faculty and staff to participate in every element of the symposium. Lastly, we challenge our students to continue to pursue new ideas and opportunities within and outside our university.

Presentations on December 10, 2021: 1pm-4pm

Poster presentations can be viewed in the Morris Cultural Arts Center.  Paper presentations will be given in the Green Room of the Morris Cultural Arts Center.”
