Student Scholars Day is a student and faculty-run event. In order to have a successful and meaningful Student Scholars Day, more than 100 volunteers are needed to make it happen. Similar to a conference, it is a day that celebrates student research and creative endeavors. Throughout the day, poster presentations, oral presentations, creative displays, and dance performances will showcase the many forms of scholarship that students have done over the course of the year. We need volunteers to fill two-hour time blocks.

Volunteer registration for SSD 2024 will take place February 3 - March 24, 2025.
