You put so much
work and time into your project that you feel really good about yourself. You feel as if
you're contributing to something special."
--Illyssa Klein, Academic Spree Day '97
Each year Clark students showcase the fruits of their labor at Fall Fest
and Academic Spree Day (ASD), both held in Higgins University Center. These events
celebrate the research and creative work Clark undergraduate students produce under the
support and mentoring of the University's distinguished faculty. Throughout the day
students display their research findings, present papers, participate in panel
discussions, exhibit their artwork—which include paintings, drawings, sculptures and
graphic designs—and perform original musical compositions. The Clark community looks
forward to these events each fall and spring. Begun in 1991 and overseen every year since
by psychology department faculty member Dr. Seymour Wapner, Academic Spree Day has become
the highlight of the Clark academic year. Beginning in 2000, Fall Fest offers a similar
venue for the presentation of undergraduate research and creative activity.
Everybody has been
so enthusiastic. I've never seen anything like it in my life around here. All of the
students are talking with each other, and talking with the faculty as well."
--Dr. Seymour Wapner, Academic Spree Day '91
