Kapaau student’s poster praised

Kapaau student’s poster praised

Graceland University student scholars from a variety of academic disciplines were selected to present their research and work to an audience of fellow students, faculty and visitors.

Donald Wong of Kapaau was selected for a poster presentation in Social Science with the title, “Find Your Way: Mapping Out the Past.”

The goal of the annual event is to develop a culture of high quality research, scholarship and creative activities.

The showcase is an opportunity for students and professors to professionally demonstrate their scholarly works for the entire campus to see, and enables all schools to see each other’s work in one place.

Scholarly works are represented by posters, presentations, demonstrations, senior projects, art shows, musical instrument recitals and more.

Graceland University is a liberal arts university located in Lamoni, Iowa, and is sponsored by Community of Christ.
