UNDergraduate Showcase
Each semester, the College of Arts & Sciences hosts a research and creative activity showcase for undergraduate students to present their work to the campus community.
The showcase provides the opportunity for students to highlight and celebrate their research and creative activity without the pressure of competition. Students are afforded the opportunity to practice skills that will benefit them after graduation. Attendees are able to engage with presenters and learn about the exceptional work being done by students in the college.
