Langsdale Library, the Helen P. Denit Honors Program, and the Office of the Provost are again sponsoring an undergraduate symposium entitled Inspired Discoveries on May 1, 2015 in the Learning Center Town Hall and lobby. This symposium, now in its sixth year, is part of an ongoing effort to recognize and encourage undergraduate research and other academic achievements. The day will consist of opening remarks from President Kurt Schmoke and Provost Joseph S. Wood, student presentations, and a luncheon with an alumnus keynote speaker(s). Student presentations may be in the form of poster sessions, exhibits, panel presentations or presented papers. Projects may include original research conducted individually or as a team or creative works such as video games or creative writing pieces. The sponsoring committee is soliciting applications for student projects submitted either by the student or advising faculty member. Student applications must be accompanied by a faculty letter of recommendation. Selected students should be prepared to attend the full-day symposium; we strongly encourage faculty advisors to attend and support their students. Below is the application form for students or faculty to complete. Applications are due by April 10, 2015. The sponsoring committee in conjunction with a group of faculty advisors will review and select participants for the symposium. The best project in both areas of research and creative works will receive up to a $500 scholarship and participants’ work will be featured in an online campus publication. We hope that you will consider submitting a project you have completed (or will complete this semester). Capstone or independent study projects (from fall or spring semesters) as well as honors thesis work make strong submissions. For more information, see the Inspired Discoveries website.
