This year's Mount David Summit will take place on Friday, 2 April 2010. There will be concurrent presentations in the afternoon and a number of Summit events on Friday evening. Students will present their work in poster sessions, in 15-minute talks scheduled in concurrent sessions, and in readings, performances, screenings, and an exhibitions. Most events will take place in Pettengill Hall.
The Summit is festive and informative, and draws a large crowd of students, faculty, staff, and parents. It provides a wonderful opportunity for first-years and sophomores to test their presentation skills in a supportive environment, and gives more advanced students the chance to present their individual research to a wide audience. Broadly multidisciplinary, the Summit also shows the depth and expanse of scholarship among Bates students.
Students from all classes are encouraged to participate in the Summit and will need to register in order to present. Registration is open through February 12, 2010. It is essential that students planning to use PowerPoint or other media indicate their needs in detail on the registration form when registration takes place.
On Thursday, April 1, 2010, the Annual Barlow Off-Campus Study Photo Exhibition will officially open with a reception at 7pm in the Perry Atrium.
