Every year, hundreds to thousands of UVU students engage in high-quality original research and creative work. In the majority of cases these projects are only displayed at off-campus conferences, so we never get to see the work here at UVU. THE 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. THE SHOWCASE is co-sponsored by the UVU Scholarly & Creative Undergraduate Learning Partnership Team (SCULPT).
The 2023 UVU Showcase conference will be held in person on April 4th.
Complete the form below to be considered for a poster session, performance, art and design display, digital media display, reading, community service projects and interventions, and other creative and scholarly work.
Please note that if the research being presented includes human subjects, and the possibility exists that either the instructor or the student would consider disseminating the data as generalizable knowledge, i.e., present the data at a local, regional, or national conference, or publish the results in a book or journal, the research must be submitted for Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and approval.
