Festival of Scholars
2009 Festival of Scholars Slideshow
A look back at a week filled with research, creativity and achievement.
April 27 - May 1, 2009
The Third Annual Festival of Scholars showcases scholarly work of undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and the School of Business.
Scholarly work may include traditional research, creative work or the application of theory to real-life situations. In some cases, the research presented is related to a particular class. In other cases, the student is presenting their Senior Capstone project or research that was completed independently of the curriculum. All of these high quality projects reflect months or maybe even years of focused work with faculty mentors.
Sessions within the Festival offer a variety of presentation styles. Poster presentations offer large visual representation of the project and allows for interaction with the student presenter. Some sessions are a collection of oral presentations or a panel discussion. Lastly, some sessions involve a demonstration of the scholarship such as a teaching demonstration or multimedia project.
This year’s Festival includes some new special sessions that focus on faculty scholarship. The Endowed Professor Session and the Celebration of CLU Faculty Authors Session will showcase some of the university’s excellent faculty.
Admission is free to all events on campus. The community-at-large is welcome to attend sessions, unless otherwise specified. The Festival of Scholars is sponsored by CLU’s newly established Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR). For more information contact Michele LeBlanc at our@callutheran.edu or (805) 493-3276.
