The annual 'Celebration of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, & Creative Activity' is scheduled for April 18th during activity hour. The event is an open opportunity for Marist undergraduate students to showcase their scholarly accomplishments in the past year to the entire Marist community. During the venue students will be able to present their original work through displays, oral presentations, or exhibitions as long as they have registered and been approved by the Faculty Committee. Students must have a faculty or staff sponsor but this sponsor need not have collaborated on the project.
"CURSCA fills a niche between the classroom and the professional conference, providing students with useful preparation practice before actually presenting in front of their peers," said Dr. Daniel Cochece Davis, assistant professor of communication and director of undergraduate research.
Scholarly work that has been presented for another purpose, such as an independent study or a conference presentation, is acceptable. It is preferred that the students present work that is not "course-embedded," however work that has been done to complete formal coursework is admissible. A Faculty Committee will review and prioritize the submissions in the event that the number of registrations becomes a concern.
Registering students are required to indicate the type of presentation they will be giving. Oral presentations will be limited to 10 minutes for the presentation and 2 minutes for a question and answer period and will be conducted in the PAR. Posters will be set up in displayed in allotted spaces on the third floor. (Posters should be a maximum of 48 inches wide by 36 inches high). Easels and presentation boards will be provided but students need to supply their own push pins. Works of artistic expression, such as paintings, digital media, music, dance, etc, will also be accommodated in the Student Center.
Questions regarding CURSCA should first be directed to the student's faculty sponsor and then to Dr. Mike Tannenbaum, Dean of Sciences.
Registration for CURSCA can be done online at http://www.marist.edu/academics/cursca/regform.html and the deadline is March 8th (last day of classes before Spring Break). For further information please see http://www.marist.edu/academics/cursca/
