Apeiron presentations marked by professionalism

Books aren’t the only way to gain information in the library. Poster boards will soon fill Mabee Library showcasing students’ research as part of Apeiron, April 17.

If Washburn students want to challenge their intellect outside of the classroom, Apeiron provides the platform for them to present scholarly research and activities. According to their Web site, it is “dedicated to the proposition that students are capable of work that knows no limits and transcends all boundaries.”

Beginning at 11:30 a.m., participating students from all disciplines at Washburn, will have the opportunity to share what they learned with the public. The poster exhibits in the library accompanied by the students’ short presentation to viewers begins at 4 p.m. This is also a time when presenters can answer questions about their topic.

Professionalism is the key to a good presentation. Students will present their research, scholarship and creative activities in a setting similar to a professional meeting.

"Washburn needed a way for students who are doing advance research, some even at the level or graduate school, to let them share it with others,” said Kim Morse, associate professor and chair of the Apeiron committee board. “Apeiron is that venue.”
