Millikin's Celebrations of Scholarship shows that an education focused on engaging students in the theory and practice of their disciplines develops accomplished scholars prepared for graduate and professional study or challenging positions in the workplace.
"Celebrations of Scholarship is a time when the fruits of countless hours of student work, study, practice, attention, energy and striving are made public to recognize, instruct, enrich, and of course, celebrate," said Millikin Provost Dr. Jeffery P. Aper. "Millikin University is an extraordinary, vibrant community of thinkers and doers, all of which is reflected in the range and depth of the student work given a public forum during the annual Celebrations of Scholarship."
