Every year, thousands of UVU students engage in high-quality original research and creative work. SHOWCASE is an on-campus opportunity to display some of our student's best artistic performances, displays of visual arts, and poster presentations of original research and writings.

SCULPT has funding to print student posters for Showcase if submitted by Friday, Oct. 11. Once a student has registered, their name will be added to a list of authorized students. Please take your poster to Mike Bird in the College of Science Dean's Suite on a thumb drive. Posters should be formatted to print no larger than 40x48 inches. Printing takes time! Please do not wait until the last day! After Oct. 11, you will need to take your poster to the UVU Printing Office (off campus across the freeway in an industrial park) or to a commercial printing company, at your or your advisor's expense. Please print your poster as soon as possible.
