2021 Virtual Student Conference
Welcome to the 2021 Virtual Student Conference!
鈥淒arkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that鈥︹ begins one of Martin Luther King, Jr.鈥檚 most beloved quotes that has stood the test of time and is certainly applicable to the challenges we鈥檝e faced during this global pandemic.
Today, I welcome you to embrace a guiding light driving out darkness: The impressive work our students have steadfastly pursued in the name of academic excellence.
The 2021 Virtual Student Conference is a testament to the Flashes of brilliance that continue to shine bright: our dedicated students, faculty and the Hometown University we count on during these uncertain times.
We know that pursuing academic excellence doesn鈥檛 stop in times of crisis. On behalf of the administration, faculty and staff, I am just so proud to witness the high level of commitment that has made this year鈥檚 Student Conference possible. These high-achieving students are role models to fellow classmates, and an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing your projects, theories, discoveries, and talents with us.
As the event sponsor, the Honors Program of 5X社区 at Stark provides this forum for the campus community to not only celebrate students鈥 educational accomplishments, but also to learn from them.
I encourage you all to take the time to explore the students鈥 work, highlighted in this virtual format, and continue to ignite the commitment to academic pursuits that serves as our guiding light.

Dean and Chief Administrative Officer
