Celebration of Student Writing
Since the spring of 2007, Bellevue University has celebrated the work of its best student writers and researchers with a Celebration of Student Writing and Research. Faculty members nominate for recognition those students who have demonstrated exceptional skill in writing and research. At the celebration, selected student work is presented by the writers/researchers to the Bellevue University community, a nationally known author presents a keynote address, and then invited guests enjoy lunch together.
