Dear Campus Community, We invite you to join us next week for the *2026 Annual Creative Collaborations Showcase* <https://www.sandiego.edu/ugresearch/students/creative-collaborations.php> for a fun and interactive event that celebrates undergraduate research and creative works at USD! Students will be presenting 2-minute lightning talks about their research and creative projects. The high-quality work reflects the intellectual curiosity of our undergraduate students, the outstanding abilities of the research mentors, as well as USD's commitment to academic excellence and experiential learning opportunities. There will be an opportunity for the audience to vote for their favorite presentations, ask questions during a Q&A session, and interact with the speakers after the talks are complete. This year, we will be organizing the *first-ever undergraduate research time capsule at USD*! On Thursday, April 30th, please bring something you would like to contribute to the time capsule whether it be an old notebook, scribbled notes, photos with your research group or mentor, or a letter for a future undergraduate researcher. There will be more opportunities to add to this ongoing project throughout the summer-research experience as well! Lunch and refreshments will be provided. This event is Career Readiness Point approved. When: April 28th and April 30th What time: 12:15 pm - 2:15 pm Where: Learning Commons Town Square Please help us promote this event by sharing this email/flier and--for faculty--announcing it in your classes. We hope to see you there! This event is open to all members of the campus community. For questions, please contact ugresearch(a)sandiego.edu.
