Port Day is designed to demonstrate and promote the academic achievements of Virginia Wesleyan students completing capstone undergraduate research, internship, and semester study-away experiences. A conference-style schedule will include concurrent, campus-wide sessions at which students will share their work through oral and poster presentations, reflect on the experiences, and answer audience questions. The day will conclude with the Senior Art Exhibition in the Neil Britton Art Gallery.
On Port Day, no classes, meetings, or athletic events will be held during the day, allowing the entire campus community to celebrate the accomplishments of our students, learn about the good work completed, and hear about the transformative power of participation in capstone academic experiences. The day will be particularly important for students who would like to learn how they, too, may undertake a capstone experience at Virginia Wesleyan.
I encourage all students, faculty, and staff to participate in this important Virginia Wesleyan tradition and to join me in congratulating our student participants for their achievements. View the complete Port Day schedule on The Lighthouse webpage at: http://www.vwc.edu/academics/
