Westminster will celebrate the accomplishments of over 100 students in over 60 presentation/poster sessions at the 1st Undergraduate Scholars Forum on April 16th.
Westminster has long been committed to promoting undergraduate research and to developing young scholars. For many years, our students have presented their research both on and off campus, in a variety of settings.
The Undergraduate Scholars Forum, however, allows the College to highlight our students' achievements in a formal and comprehensive way. On this day, students from 17 departments will offer paper presentations, poster presentations, multi-media presentations, and creative performances. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and trustees will gather together to learn from these presenters. The Forum is truly a celebration of scholarship on our campus and a way to show off all the great work our students do.
The day will conclude with a President's Community Celebration at the Mueller Leadership Hall from 4-5pm. Food and drinks will be served. Thank you to all the Westminster community that are assisting with the event - student presenters, faculty advisors, moderators, Alpha Chi, ODK and SGA!
