There is no time more important than the present for our students to be able to ask big questions, critically analyze long-beheld norms, and search for previously unknown answers. They can give voice to the voiceless and provide answers about how we can better comfort those who are in pain. SRF is a physical manifestation of Carroll College’s mission statement as we collectively pursue an “enduring wonder for knowledge” and celebrate our community’s hard work and determination as researchers, writers, artists, thinkers, and performers. Each year we have an opportunity to change things up and participate in the liturgy of intellectual exchange in a way that invites us to step outside of our pedagogical norms. Our student research festival flips the classroom dynamic on its head and invites Carroll students to the podium to share their knowledge with our community as experts in their field.
As we celebrate all of the hard work, fascinating research, creative expression, and deep thinking that goes on at Carroll, we encourage you to pause for a minute during a session, look around and let yourself enjoy the hunger and excitement for knowledge that is buzzing about you. On few occasions will you experience an environment so dedicated to the holistic pursuit of knowledge and its application. Strike up a conversation with someone outside of your field of study or profession and let them open your eyes to new ideas and perspectives. Let them help you to identify solutions, create beauty, and find truth. Your participation helps us define the word celebration in Carroll’s own terms–be curious, ask questions, and listen carefully. You may find a whole new world of experiences and ideas just waiting to catch your attention and change your life for the better. Are you ready?
