Please share with students:

The Scholars' Day application deadline is this coming Monday, March 2, 2026! This event celebrates academic excellence while promoting and encouraging scholarship throughout the college. Student presentations are judged by panels of faculty, staff, and administrators, and scholarships are awarded.

All students and employees are invited to submit an application to deliver an oral or poster presentation, or a performance at Scholars' Day 2026. Applications include a 100- to 200-word abstract; see our FAQ and Abstract pages for details, including the abstract evaluation rubric. Accepted presentations/performances will take place on Tuesday, April 28 on the Brighton Campus.

Additionally, on Wednesday, April 29 the Scholars' Day keynote presentation from Amy Goodman will take place at 12 PM in the MCC Theatre, followed by the Celebration of Learning held in the LeRoy V. Good Library from 2 to 4 PM.

Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, a national, independent, award-winning daily news program airing on over 1,500 public television and radio stations worldwide, with millions of subscribers across all major social media platforms. Goodman has been honored with a wide range of awards, including the I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence Lifetime Achievement Award and the Right Livelihood Award for “developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media.” Amy has co-authored six New York Times bestsellers. Her latest, Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America, covers the first two decades of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders shaping our world. This work is also the subject of a feature-length documentary film, currently showing in festivals and opening in theaters across the US this spring.
