The annual Academic Celebration Week will include talks by LWC students about their undergraduate research projects, four performances of Julius Caesar and the annual Spring Music Gala, featuring Mozart’s Coronation Mass (Mass No. 15 in C major).
More than three dozen academic awards will be given at Tuesday’s honors convocation, which will be at 3:30 p.m. CT at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive. On Thursday night, 2001 alumnus and trustee Chris Estes will be the keynote speaker at the 2015 Founders' Day Dinner, which will begin at 6 p.m. CT at Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.
“Outside of commencement week, this is one of the highlights of the school year,” said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. “It’s wonderful to enjoy such a wide variety of academic programs, and learn what students and faculty have been collaborating on this school year. It’s also a reminder of what a gifted and talented student body we have at Lindsey Wilson.”
