Dear Campus Community,
Join us this week for the 2025 Creative Collaborations Showcase for a fun
and interactive event that celebrates undergraduate research and creative
works at USD!
This two-day event will take place on April 8 and April 10 during Torero
Hours in the Learning Commons Town Square as part of USD’s Research Month.
Students will present their projects in a short presentation with six
slides that automatically advance after 20 seconds (known as
Pecha-Kucha-style presentations). The format allows students to present
their project to a broad audience and for the audience to experience the
breadth of research and creative works taking place across the many
disciplines of our campus.
Students who attend and sign in will receive 1 COMPASS/CONNECT/PASSPORT
point.
When: April 8, 2025 and April 10, 2025
What time: 12:15 - 2:15 pm (Torero Hours)
Where: Learning Commons Town Square
