2017 Jun 6

Rachel Holowecky of Amherst was among over 180 students whose exceptional academic work was showcased during Baldwin Wallace University's Ovation Festival 2017. Holowecky, a graduate of Firelands High School, presented a poster titled "The Influence of Personality on Deviance in College Students."

Now in its 10th year, Ovation is a 10-day festival that recognizes student success in research and scholarship, the arts, experiential learning and leadership, and athletics. The signature event is the Day of Excellence, which features exceptional student achievements from every school of the University. Students demonstrate their achievements by performing original musical compositions or short plays; reading original essays, stories or poems; giving video or slide presentations; exhibiting artwork; or presenting research posters. To participate in the Day of Excellence, students must complete the submission process, and have a faculty mentor who sponsors their work and gives final approval to present.
