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@sandiego.edu.
