Conferences for Student Scholars


We got a question today about whether any of our colleges and universities hosts anything like the Minnesota Private Colleges Council's Scholars at the Capitol day.

Well, yes, they do! Now would be a good time to add one or more of these events to your calendar. It's always a pleasure to spend time with students who are working on their own and with faculty on creative, scholarly projects that will take them to grad school and/or entrepreneurial futures.

I believe each of the state universities has such a conference; below are links to those at all but Metropolitan State. If someone knows of such an event at Metro, please post it here in comments, or let me know and I'll amend this post.
  • Winona State University has had two Annual Student-Faculty Research Celebration Symposia, but I couldn't find a standing Web page for the event. Here's a link to the 2008 symposium.
Among the two-year colleges, I know that Inver Hills and Lake Superior hold faculty-student conferences each year, too. But no Web sites, as far as I know. (Update, please, those of you who ARE in the know!)
