Spring StarScapes set for April 26, 27

LCC will be hosting its biannual “StarScapes” event on Wednesday, April 26 and Thursday, April 27 in the Gannon Building Highway.

The event initially started back in 2015 from instructors’ desire to show off their students’ hard work at the end of the school year, but that soon switched to after both spring and fall semesters.

“Starscapes is a showcase of the innovative work done by LCC students,” LCC History Professor Jeff Janowick said. “It provides an opportunity for students to share the exciting work that they are doing with the LCC community.

“Presentations often are related to work done in LCC classes, but can also involve work developed through students’ own research and interests.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, StarScapes was forced to remain solely online for the protection of students, faculty and employees. However, now that masks and online are no longer mandatory, StarScapes is returning to its original face-to-face version this semester. Student projects will be on display in the Gannon Building’s main hallway.

“Starscapes will also continue to have online presentations, so students can submit digital presentations as well,” Janowick said. “Those will be available starting that Monday (April 24), but they remain visible even after the official end of the event.”

Although the in-person registry has ended, students can still sign up and upload their digital content here for viewing.

“This is an opportunity to share research, capstone presentations, honor’s option projects or other creative, imaginative or interesting work that students have produced,” Janowick said. “Even if they are not presenting, students should come and see the work that students are producing in their classes.”
