PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC) announces that its first annual Scholars Day will be held Tuesday, Feb. 11. 

 

The conference-style event is designed to honor and learn from the scholarly and creative work performed by faculty, staff and students.

 

Scholars Day is a combination of the Undergraduate Scholars Conference, which the College has held for many years, with presentations from the staff and faculty. It aligns with the College's mission and strategic plan in that it fosters lifelong learning, supports a culture of assessment, and showcases student undergraduate research.

 

Faculty and staff will share their scholarly or creative work during the morning breakout sessions.  This allows the BCC faculty and staff to participate in a conference without having to travel and learn from their own colleagues.  In the afternoon, students will present on original scholarly works that go above and beyond classroom assignments. Students may choose to present in a traditional slide format (PowerPoint, video slides, etc.) or an informal tabletop display for a gallery walk.
