Nearly 200 seniors攎ore than double the number that participated in last year檚 first, virtual version of the event honoring 黑料老司机檚 recently-recognized mentored researchprogram攚ill share digital presentations of their work on personal webpages.

淎lthough we miss the opportunity to gather together physically, it has been a joy to see the creativity of our students in digital formats, and to share this opportunity with seniors studying both remotely and on campus, as well as with friends, family, and supporters from all over the world, said Christa Craven, dean for faculty development and professor of anthropology and women檚, gender, and sexuality studies in an address celebrating the event.

The digital celebration included a congratulatory message to seniors from College President Sarah Bolton and several alumni who shared what I.S. meant to them and how their experience propelled them in their career achievements. The presentation also honored this year檚 symposium award winners. Staff and faculty judges from across the College selected 20 Award winners based on themes, presentation format, and special categories selected by the judges.
