Scholars' Day

A Day of Research and Inquiry

Friday, April 17, 2009
8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Old Main

Scholars' Day is an event designed to demonstrate, highlight, promote and encourage scholarship among SUNY Cortland faculty, staff and students. Our scholarly work is crucial to who and what we are as individuals and as an institution.

This day is an attempt to help our students and the general public understand and appreciate what we do, to draw students into the intellectual life and the excitement of scholarly work and to publicize the accomplishments of our faculty, staff and students.

Throughout the day, presentations will be made be faculty, staff, students and alumni. In addition to attendance by members of the campus community, invitations have been extended to area high school students and their advisors, our elected representatives and to the Cortland community at large.

Complimentary refreshments will be served in the Colloquium Room on the second floor both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Support for Scholars' Day has been received from the President's Office, the Provost's Office and Vice President for Academic Affairs Office, The Cortland Fund, The Cortland College Foundation and Auxiliary Services Corporation.
