Scholars Week is a week-long showcase of academic pursuits and research among the academic departments. The week culminates in a university-wide Scholars Day Exposition held on the campus at Middle Tennessee State University. This event covers the scholarship conducted during the fall and spring semesters.

Scholars Day showcases the same academic rigor as Scholars Week, but instead is a one day event showcasing the academic pursuits and research during the summer semester.

    A PETROLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF TERTIARY TO QUATERNARY MAGMA EVOLUTION IN THE MOUNT HOOD REGION, CASCADE RANGE, NORTH AMERICA
    (Middle Tennessee State University, 2014-01-15) Worrell, Victoria ; Cribb, Warner ; Geosciences
    Over the last 700,000 years, Mount Hood, Oregon has erupted chemically consistent andesitic lavas and pyroclastic flow deposits. Lavas generally fall into the calc-alkaline range with a restricted composition of approximately 50-65 wt% SiO2. Major element geochemistry suggests Tertiary lavas have undergone more fractional crystallization and magmatic differentiation processes than those of the Quaternary. Evidence of magma mixing is also found in thin section analyses with inclusions, sieve textures, and resorbed phenocrysts. Trace element analyses indicate the absence of HSFE depletion relative to LILE in Quaternary samples, indicating Tertiary samples exhibit a closer relationship to arc magmas than what is seen in Quaternary samples. The depletion in Tertiary samples implies a modification of their upper-mantle source region by slab-derived fluids in the subduction zone to the west of the Cascades. The depletion also implies that Quaternary lavas underwent less intereaction with subducted sediment or less magmatic differentiation than Tertiary samples.

    Why are some United Nations peacekeeping operations more successful than others?
    (Middle Tennessee State University, 2014-11) Mailyan, Emiliya K. ; Liberal Arts
    The most often used method for stopping conflicts such as civil wars and genocides is peacekeeping by the United Nations. But these operations don't always work completely. In fact, they prove to sometimes be great failures. But what can we consider to be a success? According to the UN, a success in peacekeeping is defined as an operation where basic security guarantees and response to crises were provided, as well as support for political transitions and fragile new state institutions. The UN lists operations in countries such as Cambodia and El Salvador to have been successful in ending conflict and promoting normal development, even if major peacebuilding challenges remain. However, there have been instances of failure (where the above criteria weren't met), and the UN considers the operations in Rwanda and Bosnia among them. To determine the chance of success, I have examined research on the effects of four factors on four countries, and I have produced the a causal model with hypotheses.
