Celebration of Scholarship 2023 Review
Cornerstone’s annual Celebration of Scholarship day recognizes all of the hard work our students put in throughout the year. As a major milestone at the end of the academic year, daytime classes are suspended to allow all Golden Eagles the opportunity to present research findings, give musical performances, display their artwork and host panel discussions with their peers as well as members of the faculty and staff.
“Celebration of Scholarship is a day to celebrate the students and the work they are doing with their minds, to glorify God,” said Dr. Michael Stevens, Professor of English and Co-Director of the Creativity and Innovation Honors Institute.
The excitement level was high on Thursday, April 27th as students, mentors, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and administrators spread out all over campus to engage with over 100 presentations, including:
- 50 Poster Presentations
- 28 Oral Presentations
- 12 Art Presentations
- 10 Musical Performances
