Inspiring a Deep Love of 学习: St. 路加福音’s Scholars Symposium
St. 卢克的 mission is to inspire a deep love of learning in students. The Scholars Program fuels academic passion 和 ambitions by placing students at the helm of learning. This program helped inspire the Student-Led 学习 Strategic Priority in the Strategic Plan. For a group of St. 路加福音’s seniors, these ambitions are realized through the Scholars Program.
In April, 25 members of the Class of 2022 showcased their mastery-level research 和 presentation skills during the annual Scholars Symposium.
The Scholars Program 和 Symposium, led by Director of Studies Jim Yavenditti, encourages students to forge their own paths by embarking on a yearlong, extensive independent research project on a topic that inspires them. Scholars’ fields of study include Classical, 全球, STEM, 和, new this year, Literary. Scholars begin with a deep dive into research, consult with faculty mentors throughout the process, 和 conclude with a formal presentation of findings at the symposium.
Topics this year include: A Lost Hope: Civil LIberties in Russia; Club Soda on the Rocks: A Study of Carbon Mineralization; The Myth Obscures the Man: Hemingway’s Struggle with Masculine Identity; 和 Planting a Seed: Environmental Initiatives 和 ESGs. See the complete list of presentations 在这里.
Yavenditti refers to the annual symposium as “the highest form of independent scholarship on the St. 路加福音’s Hilltop.” The scholars’ presentations took place on Wednesday, 4月20日, in the Jensen Family Humanities Wing 和 Upper School Science Wing. After each presentation, audience members were invited to ask questions. All presentations were recorded 和 will be shared at a later date.
