Office of Scholarly Endeavors
Research is the process of discovery. No matter the project, the researcher is doing something no one else has done before.
At its core, the newly established Office of Scholarly Endeavors supports and celebrates student research, scholarship, and creative inquiry across Hiram College’s many disciplines and majors. The Office gives students the opportunity to learn things that aren’t often covered in class and to work on unusual and interdisciplinary projects.
To that end, the Office is the home of multiple, non-departmental, specific initiatives and programs that feature significant student research component or emphasis. It also aims to help Hiram faculty and staff integrate student research into their own on-going scholarship.
Four major programs are promoted by the Office: Sugar Day, Choose Ohio First Scholars, experiential research opportunities, and the Celebration of Experiential Learning.
