Announcing Scholars' Day 2010: Call for Participation


On Saturday, April 3, 2010, MCC will host its second "Scholars' Day."  MCC's Scholars’ Day program aims to highlight the accomplished and talented scholarly work and research of all MCC students, faculty and staff.

This year the Scholars' Day committee is proud to announce that our keynote address will be given by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and UCLA professor Dr. Jared Diamond, author of the New York Times bestsellers “Collapse:  How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed” and “Guns, Germs, and Steel.”

MCC's Scholars' Day program aims to provide the entire MCC community with a single venue that highlights and celebrates our culture of academic excellence.  We are currently seeking proposals from students, faculty, and staff that detail specific projects or work that they would like to have considered for inclusion during this year's program.  This year we would especially like to encourage submissions and proposals from departments and disciplines across the entire college and are interested in receiving a wide variety of proposals including, but not limited to, traditional academic conference-style individual essay or research paper presentations, suggestions for panel discussions, poster sessions, and performances or studio sessions.   

We would like to invite faculty and staff to strongly encourage their talented and interested students to submit to this Call for Participation, as well as to consider mentoring participating students as they prepare to experience what is likely to be their first academic conference.  In addition, we strongly encourage faculty and staff to present their own scholarly projects, participate in a panel discussion, or to co-present with a student.

Interested students should contact a sponsoring faculty member to help guide them through the process.

Our Call for Participation form is attached to this announcement and can also be found at our program web page:

We will be accepting hardcopy and online submissions through January 22, 2010.

If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Matthew Hachee (ENG/PHL) at extension x3274, or Jodi Oriel (Campus Center) at extension x2533.  Or send an email to <mailto:scholarsday@monroecc.edu>.
