Student Scholarship Week, April 18-27, 2025

The 10th Annual Scholarship Week: Celebrating the Research, Creative, and Service Accomplishments of MU Students takes place Friday through Sunday, April 18–27, 2025.

Student Scholarship Week includes week-long activities that showcase and celebrate students’ individual academic work inside and outside of the classroom as well as highlights faculty-student collaboration, across the University.

There are three (3) distinct submission categories:

  • Student – Hawk Talk submission
  • Student – Poster Expo submission
  • School/Department – Event submission

A call for event submissions will go out in December. A call for student submissions will go out in January. All submissions will be due by Feb. 14, 2025, via etrieve.

Please join us for an informational meeting to learn more about submitting your project or event. All members of the campus community are welcome to attend (i.e. students, faculty mentors, staff assisting in event planning). You can attend any session. Members of the Committee will be present to talk about Scholarship Week and to answer your questions.
