Students' research accomplishments will be displayed through performances and presentations during Scholars Week, which will demonstrate the various activities occurring on campus and inside the classroom.
Scholars Week 2008 is being held this week and will continue until April 4 as each day a different college will host its own display of student accomplishments. Each college at MTSU has a display that is unique to itself.
"Campus-wide participation shows the vitality high quality and pervasiveness of scholarship throughout our academic community," said Kaylene Gebert, executive vice president and provost. "The organizing committee is doing a fantastic job and we encourage everyone to mark the dates and events on their calendars."
The College of Education and Behavioral Science will host a luncheon on Thursday entitled "Life's Major Questions" at 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hazelwood Dining Room, located in the James Union Building. Tickets will cost $5 and must be purchased in advance.
There will be a university-wide poster and multimedia exposition to bring together all of the aspects that have aligned to form the basis for Scholars Week on Friday. The exhibition will take place in the Murphy Center track area and will last from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Afterwards, there will be a brief award ceremony led by Gebert at 3 p.m.
"These activities are basic to the work of the university," said Bob Peterson, MTSU English professor and member of the Scholars Week planning committee. "But a lot of what our colleagues and students do in these areas is invisible to the rest of us."
Earlier in the week, the College of Mass Communication hosted a speech by Susan Morrison in the Keathley University Center on Monday, in which she talked about her book, "Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary Clinton."
"[Morrison] brought up many interesting points about people who go out of their way to ridicule or belittle Clinton's campaign," said Kristen Pritchett, senior public relations major. "It's striking to me how many of the people who complain about Clinton actually have very similar complaints."
