General Note:
A Brief 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. FRC Chair Dr. Helen Daly organized the day, and it was decided to call it Quest ’80, in honor of the College’s “quest for knowledge.” Quest had an impressive 77 presentations that first year. After the second Quest day, the following year, the administration knew that Quest would be a successful annual program, and canceled classes for the first time for Quest ’82, and this practice has continued ever since. In 1980, all of the Quest presentations were in Hewitt Union. For Quest ’93, Lanigan was used extensively for the first time. Now Quest is spread between the Campus Center, the Shineman Center, and other buildings on campus. Few students presented their work in the original Quest ’80; now students give the majority of presentations. Quest ’96 was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Daly, who died in 1995, because she took the concept of Quest and turned it into reality.
General Note:
The purposes of this conference are the following -encourage and recognize faculty, students, and staff engaged in scholarly and creative activities at Oswego. -provide an opportunity for faculty, students, and staff to share their scholarly and creative efforts and communicate across disciplines. -help students share their scholarly and creative work, develop and appreciation for the diversity of creative and research activity at Oswego, and identify faculty with whom they may wish to study.
