“Research is integrated into the mission and identity of UCCS. This virtual showcase provides graduate students an opportunity to present their research and receive feedback,” said Sarah Elsey, UCCS Graduate School program manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students, from more than 10 different disciplines, will present their research for the first time since 2019, as the 2020 presentations were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Through this event, students get the opportunity to practice explaining their research virtually to a wide range of individuals with different levels of knowledge on their topic,” Elsey said. “Students and faculty can learn more about research happening at UCCS, which can lead to cross discipline collaborations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The showcase will be available from May 3 to May 7 for viewing in Canvas. Tap here to sign into canvas and self-enroll<\/a> in the course to view the showcase after 9 a.m. on Monday, May 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
