Campus Research Day is April 16, 2020. We are looking for submissions from the 2019-2020 academic year. Proposals are due by Friday, February 28, 2020. Although there is a competition component to Campus Research Day, faculty are encouraged to recommend student participation in presenting their works, either through oral presentation or poster. Participation in the competition portion of the event is not required in order to be a part of Campus Research Day. Competition Participants Interested students must submit proposals by Feb 28, 2020. Proposals are reviewed by the CRD committee. Authors of successful proposals will be contacted in late March to submit a working draft of their paper which will be judged by a panel. The top four papers in each of three areas (humanities, sciences, social sciences) will be selected to compete on Campus Research Day. All presentations happen on Campus Research Day, April 16, 2020. Competitors will present their papers at 8:00 am. Winners of the discipline-level competition and poster session will present their work a second time at the dean’s luncheon at 12:00 noon.

MUST READ BOOKS
Lighting the Fires of Freedom: African American Women in the Civil Rights Movement Written by Janet Dewart Bell E185.61 .B375 2018 Through wide-ranging conversations with nine African American women-- several now in their nineties-- Bell has created an oral history that shines a light on their significant contributions in the twentieth-century fight for civil rights. This book is an enduring testament to the vitality of women’s all-too-often overlooked achievements while doing the work that needed to be done.
