2014 Apr 22

Jared Luttjeboer of Belleville, Ontario, Canada, will participate in the Dordt College Ideafest on Thursday, April 24. Luttjeboer is a senior majoring in digital media production. He will present " Signs."

Ideafest is an afternoon celebration of academic achievement filled with presentations, art projects, artistic performances, and documentary films all researched and created by Dordt students.

"Ideafest is a truly multidisciplinary event, where students majoring in psychology, engineering, biology, English, art, agriculture, and more all present their research and scholarship," says History Professor Paul Fessler.

Approximately 160 studentsa?"the largest number of participants evera?"will give presentations during the annual festival to be held on Thursday, April 24, from 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Presentations are 15 minutes each, which includes time for questions. Those attending are free to wander from one presentation to another, as there are usually six going on at the same time throughout campus.

Students will also display poster presentations that visitors can view and talk with students about their work.

"In an academic community like Dordt College, where students and faculty are constantly wrestling with ideas and dreaming up dreams both big and small, it's so important to have a venue where those ideas can be shared," says Mark Volkers, professor of digital media production, who often has students present films they've made in his classes.
