The Annual Meeting of the Society of Fellows is a one-day student research conference.
Students present scholarly research or artistic projects completed under the supervision of a
Dyson faculty mentor. The Annual Meeting allows students to share their academic
achievements with family, friends, and members of the Pace community and participate in an
experience similar to that of presenting at a professional conference. Each presentation is
followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion making the Annual Meeting a learning
event for all who attend. To participate, each student must be sponsored by a faculty member and
Faculty Sponsors routinely attend the Annual Meeting to support their students. Faculty also may
organize a panel if they sponsor several students.
The Society of Fellows of Dyson College is the premier Honors organization in the Dyson
College of Arts and Sciences. The Society fosters undergraduate scholarship in the arts and
sciences at Pace University by providing enriching experiences for students with outstanding
academic abilities. Participation and membership in the Society of Fellows affords students an
opportunity to develop their intellect and display their talents in a variety of settings.
