2016 Apr 18

Thirty-eight students presented 36 academic projects from a variety of disciplines at Concordia University, Nebraska's sixth Annual Academic and Research Symposium on April 11, 2016.

Participants include:

Sean Carpenter, a senior from Hollis, N.H.

"The symposium is considered a high-impact experience, and the benefits for presenters and impact on them is immense," said faculty sponsor Dr. Nancy Elwell, dean of the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences. "Most important of all is the sense of accomplishment that presenters feel after a successful presentation. The confidence that they gain carries over to all aspects of their life."

The students presented a variety of semester- or year-long projects at the symposium, including artist statements; scientific, communication, and psychological research presentations; theological papers; and advanced and experiential projects.
