Please join us at the 29th Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship!

The 29th Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2025 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; this year, we are expanding categories to represent as many different students from across campus as possible. In addition to the traditional posters and presentations, we 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.

Thank you to those who make this event possible.  Sponsorship Opportunities for this event can be found HERE. April 17th is also the Northern Michigan University Annual Day of Giving, follow this LINK to give.

Scholarly activity or scholarship is considered any intentional and/or systematic creative inquiry required to create performances, artwork, creative writing, and so much more.

The Council for Undergraduate Research defines undergraduate research as “a mentored investigation or creative inquiry conducted by undergraduates that seeks to make a scholarly or artistic contribution to knowledge.”
