Dear Campus Community, Join us 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 [image: CC 25 Flier.jpg] This event is open to all members of the campus community, for questions, please contact ugresearch@sandiego.edu.
