Student Academic Showcase
The Student Academic Showcase is a campus-wide celebration featuring student learning and research journeys, collaborations, community partners, and networking.
This annual event is comprehensive and features students across all academic disciplines. It provides a platform where students can share their achievements and raise awareness on diverse topics from environmental studies to educational improvements.
The next Student Academic showcase is scheduled for May 12-14, 2026.
Submissions are normally due by March. A slide for faculty lectures, Submission Guidelines for Students handout, posters, and social media posts can be downloaded from the promo kit folder (to be updated by January 2026).
Former Schedule
- Day 1, Kickoff
- Day 2, Oral presentations
- Day 3, Poster & oral presentations
All of the students I nominated were very excited. It gave them an opportunity to take themselves seriously as researchers and they learned a lot about how to give a professional presentation, including how to handle the Q&A. It was a tremendous learning experience and confidence builder. I also saw families there beaming with pride at what their kids were achieving.
