JAVĿ¼ Showcase
The JAVĿ¼ Showcase was NEW in 2023! The event combined the annual Student Research and Creative Work Symposium and the Faculty and Staff Scholarship Celebration to bring together and celebrate our entire campus community of scholars and innovators in all the work that we do.
The JAVĿ¼ Showcase supports and celebrates the scholarly work of our students, staff, and faculty and promotes conversations across Schools, disciplines, and departments enriching the intellectual vitality of our campus.
Over 1,000 student presentations have been held as part of the Student Research and Creative Work Symposium since it began in 2017. We look forward to learning from each other this April!
