Every spring semester, the anticipation builds: What have our students come up with this year? It is impossible to attend Discovery Day and not be proud of what Benedictine College is accomplishing in the lives of our students. The true test for any academic program here is the mission of Benedictine College. The collaboration with faculty in a common academic project is the key to the Discovery Program, and essential to our mission to educate men and women within a community of faith and scholarship. A b c q w e rI invite t the entire y College community to join mey in supportingt r e w q c b A Discovery Day. u I o p a s d f Presidentg Stephenh D.

For months (or, in some cases, years) students and faculty have worked y t r e w q c b A A b c q w e rtogether t to find y out something new about the world. Now they are ready to share their findings, and we all have a chance to learn something that no one ever knew before their project was under- taken. We are so proud, at Benedictine College, that we offer all of our students the opportunity not only to learn what others have discovered in the past, but also to add to what people will know in the future. Discovery Day gives us all the opportunity to see the fruits of this work. The Discovery Program is an integral part of Benedictine College, and its benefits go far beyond the results of the projects you will see during this symposium. Original research fosters and strength- ens the curiosity and love of learning that are the foundation of a liberal arts education. Collaborative work develops the bonds of community among students and faculty that make Benedictine such a special place. Through our commitment to developing students’ confidence in their ability to make an original contribution to our understanding of the world and how it works, we are preparing leaders who will know they can draw on their knowledge and creativity to face the challenges that await the future. On behalf of the faculty and administration of Benedictine College, I encourage you to participate fully in the activities of this day. Special thanks are in order for the Discovery Program Committee and the Discovery Directors: their efforts throughout the year have A b c q w e rculminated t in thisy unique and exciting academic experience.y t r e w q c b A Kimberly C.
