2025 Undergraduate Scholars Conference
The Undergraduate Scholars Conference celebrates student work of exceptional merit.
The conference will feature student presentations 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 (artifacts,
materials, posters, collections, etc).
Format of the Conference
- The afternoon will begin at 1 p.m. with opening remarks.
- The conference will then break into smaller concurrent sessions where students giving slide presentations will share their work in 15-minute slots
(with time left for questions and answers).
- Following the slide presentations, the students who have chosen the informal tabletop
format will present their work during our "gallery walk" in the Connector.
- Reception: The event includes a reception during the "gallery walk" so that guests can nibble
and sip as they work their way around the room to engage the student presenters.

What's in it for you, the student?
You will have the experience of taking part in an academic-style conference, which
we believe will be a memorable experience for all those who participate. You will
be able to share the hard work you have done with the community and will be able to
put this on a resume for transfer applications. It is also our hope that you will
bring your presentation to the larger statewide honors scholarship conference in April,
or attend to take in its many offerings!

Student Testimonials
Sharing your knowledge is one of the best things you can do for your academic confidence.
Seeing how others want to interact with your work and apply it in meaningful ways
can light a fire under your brain that will allow you to start to believe that your
knowledge is worthy of recognition.

The Undergraduate Scholar's Conference at BCC inspired me and made me feel more confident
in the field that I am pursuing.
