This year’s Mount David Summit will take place on Saturday, 15 May. There are concurrent presentations throughout the day as well as a dance concert on Saturday evening. Students present their work in poster sessions, in 15-minute talks, and in readings, performances, screenings, and exhibitions. Events will be on Zoom and related platforms, and will be open to all.
The Summit is festive and informative, and draws students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, community partners, and members of the incoming first-year class. It is a wonderful opportunity for first-years and sophomores to test their presentation skills in a supportive environment, and gives more advanced students the chance to present their individual research to a wide audience. The Summit illuminates the depth and expanse of scholarship among Bates students.
Students from all classes are encouraged to participate in the Summit and must register in order to present. The registration deadline is 29 March 2021.
Information on attending the virtual Mount David Summit will be forthcoming on this website.
