Stander Symposium
Attend Stander Symposium 2023
The Brother Joseph W. Stander Symposium is Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
Project abstracts have been published to eCommons and are open for browsing, and the 2023 symposium schedule and featured events listing are available below. There will be a Stander Information Desk in Kennedy Union Main Lobby from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Stander day as a centralized location for information.
Stander provides multiple opportunities to support undergraduate and graduate students (nearly 1,000 presenters sharing 505 projects), explore other disciplines and topics, and engage with our mission as a Catholic and Marianist University in a unique and powerful way. Plan to support student presenters and attend their sessions and events.
Undergraduate classes do not meet on the day of the symposium, allowing for participation from the entire campus community. Graduate/Doctoral classes 4:30 p.m. and after will meet as scheduled. Graduate classes (or seminars) that might meet before 4:30 are advised to use discretion in making decisions to ensure the needs of graduate students participating in the Stander Symposium are accommodated.
The default view of the schedule below is by time. You can select columns to display in the upper left to filter schedule results. Click on the eCommons link to read the projects full abstract.
We are also providing a Google sheet of all the sessions, sorted by department, which you can search and download. There are four poster session this year in Kennedy Union Ballroom, this Google sheet lists the poster location assignments for each session. And click here for the poster diagram for KU Ballrom.
Search Project Abstracts
In eCommons you can search all projects in the collection for a student or advisor name, department, or keyword. Using the "search terms" box located in the upper left of the eCommons page type in your search. Selecting "in this collection" will limit you to the Stander 2023 project abstracts.
New in 2023, the students had the option of selecting up to three of the University's Institutional Learning Goals (ILGs) that most closely align with the project they are presenting at Stander. In choosing an ILG we hope it will encourage engagement and expanded awareness around the hallmarks of a Catholic and Marianist education at UD. Attendees can search projects in eCommons using the goals by typing it into the "search terms" box (example search: vocation).

About the Stander
The purpose of the Brother Joseph W. Stander Symposium is to provide an annual campus-wide forum to showcase academic excellence at the University of Dayton.

GOAL 1: Recognize and encourage student academic engagement by providing a community-wide forum for their research, scholarship and artistic achievements.
GOAL 2: Recognize and encourage faculty mentorship of students and their work.
GOAL 3: Represent the Marianist tradition of education through community in which faculty, staff and students actualize our mission to be a “community of learners.”
