The Lewis University Celebration of Scholarship is a symposium to celebrate research, scholarly work and creative endeavors of Lewis students and faculty. Work created in 2011 and 2012 will be eligible for consideration.

It is a rich opportunity for students to present scholarly work to a student, faculty, and staff audience to celebrate the academic excellence that is central to the Mission of the University. Undergraduate and graduate students in any major are encouraged to submit posters, present at a concurrent session, or present a creative work.

As Lewis University celebrates its 80th anniversary, it is fitting that we communicate across the campus the ideas and scholarly work that is shared every day in the classroom. Follow this web site for continued updates throughout the coming months.
