SSD: new name, same focus

For the past 14 years, Grand Valley has staged an annual event to showcase the best student academic work. This year, Student Scholarship Day will have a new name: Student Scholars Day.

The name change was instituted to combat occasional confusion over the nature of the event. "It's still very focused on student work, but the new name takes away any abiguity about what the purpose of the day is," said Susan Mendoza, director or Integrative Learning in the College of Interdisciplinary Studies.

This year's Student Scholars Day will be Wednesday April 14, in several venues across campus. Registration will begin on January 25 and ends February 12.

The day showcases faculty-mentored student work, shared through many venues, including oral presentations, discussion and panel sessions, fine arts exhibits and performances, and poster presentations.
