“BEAR Day demonstrates and honors the achievements of students and highlights the depth and breadth of the academic experiences at Mercer. I trust that BEAR Day will spark your own intellectual curiosity and inspire further scholarly pursuits.”

BEAR Day poster and paper presentations and art and music exhibitions continue throughout Friday in locations across campus.
The Engineering Expo will take place on Friday in the Science and Engineering and School of Engineering buildings.
"The Engineering Expo is a showcase where our students share their research and design activities over the last year," said Dr. Wade H. Shaw, dean and Kaolin Chair of Engineering. "The School of Engineering is proud to share the work of seniors completing their capstone projects, honors student projects, master's thesis projects and the design competition that our freshmen use to test vehicles that they have built. Each year we celebrate our students' mastery of creative design and share their success with the community."
More than 150 students will offer more than 100 poster and paper presentations during BEAR Day, while some 200 freshmen, 60 seniors and 50 honors students will participate in the Engineering Expo.
Additionally, the University will hold its annual Honors Convocation at 4 p.m. in Willingham Auditorium on Friday, April 7th.
Let's go Bears!
