The 29th Annual Student Scholars Day (SSD) is April 9, a celebration
of the scholarship, research and creative work by GVSU students.
SSD is coordinated by the Office
of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship. This year we are
proud to showcase more than 300 student presentations and 42 pieces of
art, including posters, oral presentations, film/video, live
performances, recorded videos, mini zines and podcasts.
Events kick off on April 8, 4-5 p.m., at the Alumni House with a
keynote address by Shobita Parthasarathy, professor of public policy
and women’s and gender studies, and director of the Science,
Technology and Public Policy Program at the University of Michigan. Parthasarathy
will present "To Achieve Social Equity, We Must Rethink
Innovation Systems."
Poster sessions will be held in the Kirkhof Center, Grand River Room,
and the Henry Hall Atrium. Oral presentations will take place
throughout the day in the Kirkhof Center. Additionally, a student art
exhibition will be on display at the Calder Art Center from April 7-25.
– Dantya Jennings is the associate director for the Center for
Undergraduate Scholar Engagement.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences program offers a venue for departments to invite notable alumni to share their experiences, insights and advice with students.
