Scholars Day: a Symposium of Research and Scholarly Pursuits of Faculty, Staff and Students of SUNY College at Brockport
Keywords
Abstract
Scholars Day at SUNY Brockport was instituted in 1984 through
the efforts of the Faculty Senate. Scholars Day has continued as a
celebration of scholarly pursuits by the campus community.
The purposes of Scholars Day are many:
1. To publicize research, including methodologies and conclusions;
2. To share new ideas and concepts;
3. To expand one's knowledge base beyond the traditional classroom;
4. To mingle and socialize with campus citizens outside one's own
department and school.
This year, there are 158 presentations made by over 240 faculty, staff
and students taking place on campus. There will also be exhibits in the corridors
of Edwards Hall including SUNY Brockport Author's Booksignings throughout the day. In
addition to attendance by campus collegians, professors, administrators, and staff, our elected
representatives, teachers and students from area high schools have also been invited to attend as
guests of the College as they too participate in the intellectual and community spirit of the day.
