The Ignatian Scholarship Day Committee has a need for faculty, staff or administrator volunteers to act as “timekeepers” or “presiders” at this year’s event on Friday, April 23.
The extraordinary response by students to present expressions of scholarship means that more volunteers are needed to keep the day’s events on time. There are seven concurrent sessions running from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and each session is 20 minutes in length.
Timekeepers introduce the session and the student scholars. Students have 10-15 minutes to present with approximately three minutes allotted for fielding questions before audience and presenters rotate out of the venue. Volunteers have successfully made this happen like clockwork at past events.
If you are mentoring a student presenter and can be a timekeeper for that paper, please let us know by providing the name of the student or time slot. Volunteers can send availability (preferably in 20 minute intervals) to Kathleen DeLaney at delaneyk@canisius.edu or leave a message at Ext. 2530 or 2916.
