Scholars Day Celebration (SDC) planning process (version 1.0)
Introduction
Each spring, Monmouth College celebrates the academic achievements of the students. The campus community comes together to celebrate, along aside the Founder’s Day activities, these student scholars. This celebration is known as the "Scholars Day Celebration".
"A great majority of Monmouth College students engage in academic scholarship above and beyond standard academic expectations put before them in the classroom. It is too often the case that this scholarship stays confined to the boundaries of the classroom or academic building. It is time to free these activities and to come together as a campus to share the excitement that happens each day at Monmouth College." (March 31, 2011 announcement of the 1st Annual SDC)
Scholarship is broadly defined as an inquiry or investigation conducted by a student that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline (as defined by the Council on Undergraduate Research). This scholarship can be a result of student-faculty collaboration, an independent study, or project that highlights exemplary works done as a part of coursework. Presentations can take the form of a poster, an exhibit, a reading, an oral presentation (not as common), a theatrical or musical performance, or a summary of a larger performance. All presentations will have a faculty or staff sponsor who is ultimately responsible for insuring the intellectual merit. All students are welcome to present; all students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.
Planning Committee
- - Student Affairs and Support Committee (SASC) is responsible for the planning of SDC.
Timing
Early Fall (once committee assignments are made)
- - The majority of the planning efforts are in the spring semester, but it is important to remind faculty in the fall that they can use SDC as a forum to present final projects/research. If reminder early, they can include such requirements in their syllabus.
- - As a part of SASC assigning committee roles, someone needs to be assigned the primary coordinator for the event, the SDC coordinator.
- - SACS/SDC coordinator needs to confirm with the Dean that they are still interested in the SDC and discuss funding. Historically, there is no budget (4/2024) set aside for SDC but we just spend $ and the Dean's office pays for it.
- - New committee members should be briefed on the event.
Oct/Nov
- - email faculty reminding them about SDC.
