Interdisciplinary Studies had a huge crowd join us for our End-of-the-Year Celebration on May 6, 2019. A handful of students from the Senior Seminar course delivered capstone presentations: Taryn MacGregor, Victoria Jollimore, Jane Burdick, Elene Gedevanishvili, Deandre Wooding, and Kyle Anderson. IDS inducted 37 new members into the Alpha Iota Sigma Honor Society and we honored our two special award winners: Mariah Davis, the recipient of the 2019 Oustanding Senior Award, and Amanda Downs, the 2019 Distinguished Senior in Interdisciplinary Studies. A fun time was had by all with food, cake, planter decorating, thank-you note writing, and fellowship among our amazing majors and graduating seniors.
For many, preparation for the 2019 End-of-the-Year Celebration was a labor of love. From our hard-working IDS seniors in the Senior Seminar class completing their Applied Projects and Research Articles to our stellar Graphic Designer, Ashley Hichborn, developing a party theme, decorations, and promotion for the event, we recognize all the work that went into this year’s Celebration.
This was a special celebration for Matt and me since it marked our first year completed with Interdisciplinary Studies. There was a sense of pride and accomplishment that we shared with our graduating seniors. It was only fitting that Matt got the news of his permanent appointment as director of Interdisciplinary Studies only days later. We are so thrilled to be able to continue our work together in IDS and want to thank everyone involved in making the End-of-the-Year Celebration special and successful! Until next year, IDS majors. Have a good summer!
