One of the highlights of the academic year, the
annual Celebrations of Scholarship recognizes the research,
scholarship and creative efforts of students from all four colleges
and the University-wide Honors Program, showing that an education
focused on engaging students in the theory and practice of their
disciplines develops accomplished scholars prepared for graduate and
professional study or challenging positions in the workplace.
“Celebrations of Scholarship is a time when the fruits of countless
hours of student work, study, practice, attention, energy and
striving are made public to recognize, instruct, enrich, and of
course, celebrate,” said Dr. Jeffery Aper, Millikin provost.
“Millikin University is an extraordinary, vibrant community of
thinkers and doers, all of which is reflected in the range and depth
of the student-work given a public forum during the annual
Celebrations of Scholarship.”
