It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to celebrate the diversity and excellence of faculty mentored student research, scholarship, and creative activities at GVSU. In its 24th year, Student Scholars Day adapted to a virtual world, where COVID-19 posed a challenge for our large, in-person event. Prior to the March shutdown, SSD registration had just closed and we had over 380 presentations scheduled. The OURS Team adjusted the event by asking our presenters to choose an online presentation method, be that through BlackBoard Collaborate, YouTube, Zoom, etc. Because of the challenges in finishing research projects in an online environment, some presenters cancelled or postponed disseminating their work until 2021. Some presenters chose synchronous presentations or sharing their work via asynchronous presentations here on ScholarWorks, a service of the Grand Valley State University Libraries.
