Scholars Day: April 6, 2011

A look back at Scholars Day 2011

What is Scholars Day?

In 1984, Scholars Day was instituted at The College at Brockport through the
efforts of the College Senate. Scholars Day has continued as a celebration of
scholarly pursuits by the campus community.

Scholars Day has several purposes:

  1. to publicize research, including methodologies and conclusions
  2. to share new ideas and concepts
  3. to expand knowledge
  4. to provide an opportunity to socialize with members of the campus community outside of one's own department.

This is our 28th year of celebrating scholarship on our campus!

The first Scholars Day on April 24, 1984 had a total of 66 presentations and six poster sessions made by 66 faculty/staff (and no students).

Scholars Day 2011 will have 323 presentations/poster sessions/demonstrations made by over 591 presenters including 549 students and 42 faculty/staff, with an additional 82 faculty/staff participating as sessions chairs but not presenting. An impressive growth!

Join us in celebrating student success on Wednesday, April 6, 2011!
