- Quest is a symposium dedicated to sharing the scholarly and creative pursuits of students, faculty, and staff of the State University of New York at Oswego. It is sponsored by the Division of Graduate Studies, Office of the Provost, the Scholarly and Creative Activities Committee, and the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.
- General Note:
- History of Quest- In 1979, The Scholarly and Creative Activity Committee (SCAC), then known as the Faculty Research Committee (FRC), wanted to develop ways to encourage more research on campus. One suggestion was to have a Scholarly Activities at Oswego Conference Day, where faculty could present their research to the campus community. Dr. Helen Daly organized the day and it was decided to call it “Quest” in honor of the College’s “quest for knowledge”. Quest had an impressive 77 presentations that first year. In 1982, the administration knew this would be a successful annual program and canceled classes for the first time to bring additional focus
to the event. In 1996, Quest was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Daly, who died in 1995, because she took the concept of Quest and turned it into an annual tradition that celebrates campus-wide scholarly and creative activity. Today Quest is a mix of students, faculty, staff and campus-wide
presentations with more than 350 participants.
- General Note:
- Purpose of Quest 2020-The purposes of this conference are the following: -to recognize students, faculty, and staff engaged in scholarly and creative activities at SUNY Oswego, -to encourage and share scholarly and creative efforts across disciplines, -to identify the faculty-led student research taking place on campus
