What is the SSS?

This is a campus-wide academic conference that is open to any COC student. The theme is Human/Animal/Environmental Rights and students can present research as a PowerPoint presentation with guided narrative, academic poster presentation, art piece, or creative writing. Please note: at this year's event students will not be presenting live. Instead, projects will be uploaded to a virtual Exhibit Hall, where people can view them and submit questions. The May 7th event will have Zoom rooms where students will engage in a Q&A about their posted projects. These will be moderated by an instructor.
