NMU Celebration of Student Scholarship
The 30th Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2026 all day in Jamrich Hall.
The Celebration of Student Scholarship is an annual event held on the Northern Michigan University campus to recognize the scholarly activity of undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines. Students share their scholarly and creative work with the NMU and Marquette communities. The event is free and open to the public. Students interested in participating should speak with their faculty advisors for assistance in planning their submission.
In the past, this event was limited to research posters and 10-minute oral presentations. Last year, the event expanded to include student art work. For the 30th anniversary, we are looking to include as many different students from across campus as possible and are opening Celebration to other formats, including film and video, readings, round tables, performances, publications, artistic displays, and more.
This event is an important opportunity for student scholars to share their work in a way that is accessible to the general public. Our mission is to improve how we communicate about academic topics and ideas while recognizing the hard work done by NMU students under the guidance of faculty. Join us to discover and celebrate student scholarship. Unregistered vehicles parking on campus, for those attending the event, will not be ticketed.
