Shawnee State University’s annual Celebration of Scholarship conference will be held on campus the week of Apr. 8. The academic conference features students in baccalaureate and graduate programs across SSU’s campus delivering presentations that share their research in the field, creative work in the visual and performing arts, community service, and study abroad.
This year’s schedule will feature online recordings and in-person presentations, including those students presenting poster displays and those students nominated to present in the Excellence in Humanities and Trustees’ Award sessions. The week will wrap up with an on-campus picnic for students, faculty, and staff in the Morris University Center.
Celebration of Scholarship will also welcome Trevor Bihl, PhD, Senior Engineer at the Air Force Research Laboratory, as this year’s Keynote Speaker. On Thursday, Apr. 11 at 6 p.m., Dr. Bihl will present “The Age of AI: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Path Forward”. In his role at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Dr. Bihl leads a diverse portfolio of both extramural and intramural R&D efforts in algorithms, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence. He is the author of two engineering textbooks, as well as dozens of journal and conference papers related to AI.
Celebration of Scholarship is open to the campus community and the public to attend. For the full 2024 conference schedule, visit shawnee.edu/cos.
