What is Scholars of Distinction?

Scholars of Distinction is an annual event to showcase to the university community the accomplishments of HEOP and SSS 3rd and 4th year students, as well as inspire our 1st and 2nd year students by showing them what is possible to achieve while studying a Syracuse University.  Presentation categories include: Campus Involvement/Community Service, Research, Study Abroad, Design/Creativity/The Arts, Internships/Summer Jobs, Social Justice/Activism/Civic Engagement, and this year we’ve added Creative Problem Solving in a Virtual World.

A Virtual Event This Year

In previous years, this event has been an open house poster presentation in the Jacquet Educational Commons in Huntington Hall.  This year’s event will have a virtual open house format where Scholars will showcase their work/experience through presentations in simultaneous but separate Zoom meetings taking place between 3pm and 5pm on Friday, February 26th.  Our Scholars are prepared to welcome and share their experience with any interested participants that join their particular Zoom meeting.  They have each created a 5 to 10-minute presentation that they will share with those who pop into their meeting during the designated event timeframe.

So, join us on Friday, February 26th for our 4th Annual but very first virtual  Scholars of Distinction.  Below is a preview of our student presenters and their topics.  On February 26th between 3pm and 5pm, their Zoom links will be available.  We will miss gathering together for this event in person this year, but hope we can still maintain the spirit of the event and succeed in showcasing to the university community the breadth of HEOP and SSS talent and inspire our 1st and 2nd year students to follow in the footsteps our amazing juniors and seniors.Poster advertising scholars of distinction event.
