The Undergraduate Symposium will run from Monday, April 19, to Saturday, April 24, and will showcase NAU undergraduate student exhibitions and performance presentations from all six colleges.
“At the heart of NAU’s educational programs is inquiry and creativity among students and faculty,” said Karen Pugliesi, vice provost of Academic Affairs. “During the Undergraduate Symposium, students show us what they create, how they generate knowledge and apply what they learn to address local and global challenges.”
Highlights also include featured speaker Lori Arviso Alvord, author of The Scalpel and the Silver Bear, at the College of Health and Human Services presentation on April 22, and
Eileen Friel, director of Lowell Observatory, at the College of Engineering, Forestry and Natural Sciences presentation on April 23.
The NAU Honors Symposium also will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 24 at the du Bois Center. There will be five sessions featuring the fine art displays and dramatic performances of honors students in addition to papers and presentations on topics ranging from “Problems, Local and Global, and their Solutions” to “Pop Culture, Advertising, and the American Dream.”
