Ribbons of Excellence Day Success

On Tuesday, April 13, 2010 students prepared their visual aids and went to work demonstrating their research. Many presentations represented the culmination of four years of work on their capstone projects. Rooms were filled with excitement as community members, faculty, staff, and students occupied every chair and lined every wall. Lunch was held for presenters and moderators in the Adrian Tobias room creating a very conference like schedule with built in networking opportunities. More motivating than the attendance to, or the structure of, this years Excellence Day was the glowing enthusiasm with which each presenter illustrated their project. When the final poster session closed it was time to head over to Dawson Auditorium where students where honored for their academic endeavors. With special guidance from visionary professors Dr. Claus and Dr. Hanley this event has evolved to become even better. The professional advantages of a local conference are many and the forum for sharing work is a truly excellent tool for students in terms of publication.
