Dear Student,

Shawnee State University will host the

4th Annual

A Celebration of Scholarship

Undergraduate Conference

on Thursday, April 17, 2008. The purpose of the conference is to celebrate student academic and creative achievements. The conference is an excellent opportunity for you to present your academic work in a formal setting. Using either the oral or poster format, you can present your community service, creative and research activities, or independent study. Student scholarship from various disciplines such as the arts, education, mathematics, business, social sciences, humanities, health sciences, natural sciences, and engineering/engineering technology may be presented at this conference.

As a participant, this is a unique opportunity to develop and polish your presentation skills, to gain recognition of your scholarly activities, and to list the experience on your resume and/or graduate school application. Basically, you would expand your abilities necessary for success in the job market and in graduate school.
