The Faculty Scholarship Celebration is a daylong event in the style of an academic conference featuring the research of the Westminster College Faculty. Presentations occur in a panel format featuring two faculty members per session, with the entire day representing one third of our faculty scholars. This event is intended to not only introduce the students in the Inquiry course of the First Year Program to the wide variety of faculty scholarship, but also serves as an opportunity for all Westminster Undergraduates to discover and explore the research and creative works happening across all departments at the college. Academic panels are meant to foster intellectual exchanges and all members of the campus community benefit from the advancement of knowledge that will occur at this event. The academic engagement occurring at the 2024 Faculty Scholarship Celebration will culminate with an evening Keynote Session featuring the 2024 Henderson Lecturer Summer Zickefoose.
