For more than 253 years, Salem College has been committed to the tradition of academic excellence. For generations, Salem students have distinguished themselves as student scholars in their undergraduate work in the creative and performing arts, humanities, social and natural sciences, professional programs, and teacher education. The Celebration of Academic Excellence epitomizes the intellectual engagement, unwavering curiosity, steadfast commitment, and perseverance through the sometimes challenging, but ultimately rewarding research and creative process. This event is one of the many treasured traditions we have enjoyed throughout Salem's history, as it celebrates the intellectual community and supportive bonds that link students each year, across years, and from one generation to the next. As a celebration of academic achievement, it represents the pride that Salem College has in all of its students.
Our celebration begins with the Faculty Research Symposium, followed by concurrent sessions, representing scholarly academic research and creative expression of Salem's undergraduates. The closing session will offer a time of reflection and discussion facilitated by a multidisciplinary faculty panel. The day concludes with the College community gathering for the annual Leadership Banquet, which honors outstanding students for their leadership and service while at Salem.
