COOL Day
Students and faculty are invited to participate in Spring Hill College’s sixth-annual COOL Day on April 22. COOL (Celebration of Our Learning) Day is a showcase for student research, scholarship and creativity. Students, working with a faculty mentor, are invited to present the results of their senior seminar projects (or other projects) in a daylong celebration.
To sign up, a student should make prior contact with a faculty mentor or academic advisor. The student then submits a proposal to the mentor/advisor by March 31. On COOL Day, participating students will make presentations of about 12 minutes, with five minutes allowed for questions from the audience. This is a great way to sharpen up your presentation skills!
