The work of more than 100 students will be shared in a Student
Scholarship Showcase this week on campus at Dalton State College.
Students from the Schools of Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Health
Professions, and Science, Technology, and Mathematics will display their
work in oral, poster, and digital presentations.
The College’s Student Scholarship Showcase is designed to “promote
the academic excellence and scholarship of our students,” said Dr.
Sandra Stone, Vice President for Academic Affairs. “We encourage student scholarship by fostering critical thinking,
writing, and oral communication skills; encouraging scientific and
humanistic investigation and research; fostering academic creativity and
original ideas within disciplines; encouraging analysis, evaluation,
and synthesis of complex problems, and promoting student presentation
and publication in appropriate outlets,” Stone said.
The exhibits and presentations range from Senior Capstone Projects
from students in the School of Business to posters chronicling
scientific research projects to an open house of graphic design work
created by Digital Design students. The projects and presentations will
be displayed in buildings across campus from Sequoya Hall to The James
E. Brown Center; a complete schedule can be accessed at
