Scholars Week will be held March 17-21. Events will include department and college activities in discipline-specific venues for presentation of graduate, undergraduate and faculty scholarship.

Planned activities will include talks, readings, performances, posters and multimedia performances, as well as invited speakers and an appreciation luncheon for faculty presenters and mentors, Friedli said.

The celebration of Scholars Week will culminate in a universitywide showcase of posters, multimedia and performance from 12:40 to 2:45 p.m. Friday, March 21, in the Student Union Ballroom. A group of judges will select the winners from each of the colleges within the university.

Provost Brad Bartel serves as executive chair of the 16-member Scholars Week Committee.
