JCC students honored at LAND Conference
Jackson Community College is pleased to congratulate Richard Bruce and Christopher Konieczki, both of Jackson, on their wins Saturday at the Michigan Liberal Arts Network for Development (LAND) 12th Annual Conference for Student Scholars at Michigan Two-Year Colleges.
Bruce and Konieczki were two of five JCC students invited to present papers at the Student Scholars Conference held Saturday at Henry Ford Community College.
Bruce’s essay, “Heavy Leather Gloves,” took top honors in
the literature category. Konieczki’s essay, “Education for a New Generation,”
was selected as best in the technology category. Both
receive a monetary award, and each will have his essay
published in full. All finalists have the abstract from their essays
published.
The Student Scholars competition is designed to encourage and reward quality academic work by students in community colleges. The best research papers from a variety of subject areas are nominated by faculty, and semi-finalists are selected for presentation at the conference. Papers are chosen in categories ranging from science, literature and technology to health sciences and multicultural studies. The 2008 conference will be hosted by Wayne County Community College.
