Scholar Day

Torch with Scholar Day written across it.

Professional & Organizational Development (POD) is proud to present Scholar Day. Each long semester (fall and spring) POD hosts Scholar Day as a way to showcase our MCC student's work. Students display and explain projects they have developed throughout the semester. These projects include inventions, products, research, and exhibits. Scholar Day is a great avenue to see the wonderful things MCC students have accomplished.

Students are invited to participate in Scholar Day in any of the following areas:

  1. Table Display
  2. Wall Poster
  3. Oral Presentation
  4. Rube Goldberg Machine
  5. Artwork
  6. Performance
  7. Other: Tell us what you would like to present

POD is supported in the event by the Scholar Day Committee.
