by Carla Bonilla 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

I found the article that I was referring to on doing vision and change assessment for anyone interested. While a bit late for the self-study, it could give us something to discuss in the future or during the review. https://www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cbe.18-07-0117 -- Carla Bonilla, Associate Professor of Biology University of San Diego, California carlabonilla(a)sandiego.edu SCST 432 She/Ella Office Hours Monday 2-5pm, Thursday 10am-noon.

by Michael Mayer 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

So, I thought Creative Collaborations was going to somehow add a poster option? They have made no changes to the event. Do we need to create our own symposium? Mike Michael S.

The Office of Undergraduate Research is hosting the annual Creative Collaborations Showcase <https://www.sandiego.edu/ugresearch/students/creative-collaborations.php> in this new format for the second year. 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 interested in presenting their projects can submit their slides/abstracts from February 19 until the submission deadline on March 19 at 11:59 pm. Students will have the opportunity to indicate their time preference for their presentation in the submission form. Guidelines, resources, and videos of past presentations are available to support students here <https://www.sandiego.edu/ugresearch/students/creative-collaborations.php>. Please note that presenting at the Creative Collaborations Showcase should not be a course requirement. We will be hosting two Creative Collaborations Showcase Presentation Workshops on February 27 and March 4 to provide general presentation tips as well as additional support to prepare students for the Creative Collaborations Showcase. Students can RSVP here <https://forms.gle/Dx7zLNqicJf1Eidt5>.

US Bank Instant Card
by Melanie Writer 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I would like to share some information about a new payment method that USD Travel is piloting. The US Bank Instant Card is a virtual card for limited expenses during a specific time period. It can be used for infrequent business travel or infrequent expenses and has a pre-set spending limit. It does require a smartphone and installing an app. Students will need an employee sponsor. At this time, it's only for faculty, staff and students. The goal is to cut down on out of pocket expenses. This could work well for student conference travel. Contact me or USD Travel with any questions!
