Celebration of Academic Excellence
This year's Celebration of Academic Excellence will take place on Thursday, April 17th, 2008 in the Center for the Arts. This event provides an excellent opportunity for undergraduates to showcase their research and creative activities. While a poster is the most common way to present their work, the event will accommodate all other forms of expression such as readings, films, videos or other media, dance performances, models, structures, etc.
Students who want to participate, need to provide the information requested in the Student Submission Form (in MS Word format) to Stefanos Papazaharias (scp@buffalo.edu) no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, March 17th, 2008.
