Scholars Day 2015
Brookdale Community College
Scholars Day has several purposes:
 To showcase research, including methodologies and conclusions
 To share innovative ideas, concepts and works
 To expand our knowledge base beyond the traditional classroom
 To provide an opportunity to socialize with members of the campus community
outside of one's own department.
We are currently seeking proposals from faculty, administrators, and staff to be considered
for this year’s program. We would like to encourage submissions and proposals from
departments, divisions and disciplines across the entire college, as well as those who have
received BIG grants within the last two years. Faculty, administrators and staff who have
received professional development funding are strongly encouraged to submit a proposal.
When and Where is Scholars Day 2015?
Events will be held in the Student Life Center and Larrison Hall on Thursday May 14, 2015
from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, in lieu of the traditional year-end Faculty Day.
