Bay College invites the community to celebrate the exemplary work of our students by attending The Creative Collective, which will be held on the Escanaba campus on Thursday, April 18. This event is free and open to the public.

The Creative Collective will begin in the Besse Theater at 3pm ET with a special reading by guest Asher Meunier-Irving, the U.P. Youth Poet Laureate of Delta County. This will be followed by the readings of several Bay College Annual Writing Contest winners, along with media projects created by Digital Cinema students.

From 4 – 6pm ET in the Bay Café, the Student Poster Symposium will be taking place. This event offers students the unique opportunity to showcase their coursework in an open forum by presenting their work in a poster format. Students will display their posters while in attendance, and have the opportunity to explain and discuss their work in more detail if others wish to ask them about it.

“At national conferences, the poster format is a very common mechanism used by upper-undergraduate and graduate students,” says Dr. Matthew Krynicki, Bay College instructor and coordinator of the Student Poster Symposium. “During the Symposium, not only are students developing their presentation skills, they are also preparing themselves for the next level of their education. They are taking part in something that goes on their resume, all the while getting the opportunity to showcase their work and learn about what others are doing.”

Bay College is the community’s college with a mission of: Student Success, Community Success. Culture of Success. Bay is devoted to each individual’s achievement in the classroom, on-campus, online, in the community and into the workforce by providing certificates and associate degrees,  transfer credits to universities, and workforce training programs which develop skillsets and advance careers. #BayIsTheWay
