Sinclair Community College will host its fall semester Honors Symposium on Dec. 5.
Honors Program Coordinator Derek Petrey said the Symposium consists of a poster presentation by students who have completed projects for Service Learning and/or have taken classes for honors during fall semester.
“The primary purpose of the Symposium is that it’s really a showcase for students to show their outstanding work in honors and Service Learning,” Petrey said.
He said posters of all subjects will be presented.
Posters will be judged and the winning board will receive a prize. Attendees will also have the chance to be entered into a raffle.
In addition, he said representatives from different colleges will be in attendance.
“I find that we communicate a lot of transfer … The colleges are looking for honors students and Service Learning students [to come],” he said. “They know that if you are doing service or honors work, that you’ve got potential to go beyond and you’re not just looking at classes, but what else you can do beyond those classes.”
Petrey said Sinclair invites non-profit organizations as well, because they sometimes ask students to volunteer.
Part of the Symposium will begin at 10 a.m. and last until noon. The other half of the Symposium will be held between 1 and 3 p.m.
Between noon and 1 p.m., students who have taken Introduction to Public Speaking will present speeches entitled, “This I believe.”
The Honors Symposium is open for all students to attend and will be held in the Library Loggia on Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. until noon and from 1 until 3 p.m.
