The Center for Engaged Learning continues to honor the incredible contributions Dr. Steve Mecca made to establishing and growing the culture of undergraduate research on our campus. Over his career, Dr. Mecca mentored hundreds of student researchers from a wide variety of disciplines. Notably, his students presented 73 projects at the Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity over the past decade.

Projects reflecting one of the four themes that the late Dr. Steve Mecca was passionate about – Education, Health, Sanitation, and/or Technology – will be designated in his honor.

We are seeking nominations for the 15th Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity. We invite nominations of Providence College students who are currently working on a project under the mentorship of a faculty member, or who have completed such a project within the last year. Projects completed over the summer or during the fall semester are eligible, as are in-progress projects to be completed before the end of the current academic year. Individual and group projects are eligible.

Students may nominate themselves and will be accepted into the Annual Celebration upon approval by their faculty mentor.

About the Celebration

 

The annual event was inspired as a result of Providence College being awarded a three-year Fostering a Culture of Student Engagement grant from the Davis Educational Foundation. The purpose of the grant was to deepen students’ engagement in their learning as a means of fulfilling the College’s central mission to promote, sustain, and enhance academic excellence. The celebration is an important feature of the College’s Strategic Plan, in which student engagement is a critical step in our effort to enhance academic excellence through expanded experiential research, study, and service opportunities, and by recognizing students’ best scholarly and creative work.
