About SSRD
Every spring, SSRD transforms our campus into a showcase of exceptional scholarship and creativity. This day is reserved for students to unveil their research discoveries, perform captivating musical, theatrical, and dance pieces, and display stunning works of art. It's a moment for students, faculty, family, and friends to come together and celebrate the intellectual and creative achievements that define the Willamette experience.
To honor the hard work and dedication of our students, regular classes are suspended on SSRD. This pause in the academic calendar underscores Willamette University's unwavering commitment to fostering student scholarship and creative expression.
A Journey of Support and Collaboration
The projects presented at SSRD reflect the diverse paths our students have taken in their academic journeys. Many have collaborated closely with faculty members as research assistants or through innovative student-faculty projects. Others have embarked on independent research adventures, delving deep into their passions during summer breaks or throughout their senior year, culminating in senior theses or capstone projects. Our fine and performing arts students showcase their originality through unique artistic creations.
