Each year, Northwest Missouri State University hosts the Celebration of Quality, an interdisciplinary symposium spotlighting exceptional student work throughout campus. The event is sponsored by the Society of President’s Scholars and the Provost’s Office and is open to undergraduate and graduate students from across the university. Aswini Vadlamudi, Neeraja Garigipati, Haritha Kurla, and Naga Sravanthi Modali presented the work they've completed with Amarendar ReddyReddygari while interning at the CITE office under the guidance of mentor and project manager Jolaine Zweifel. The popular profession-based learning program was initiated by Darla Runyon, Director of the Learning & Teaching Center – powered by CITE and Ajay Bandi, coordinator of the Masters of Applied Computer Science program at Northwest. The graduate students earned recognition and a cash prize for the presentation of their work designing and developing the Canvas Learning Management System Advisor Dashboard prototype while interning at the Professional Learning Studio. Congratulations to the team and to all the presentation participants and winners at this year's event!
