Scholarship and Creative Activities
RESEARCH POSTERS & PRIZES
Entry Form
A research poster display will be held on May 1, in the Memorial Union Ballroom that will include all four colleges. The Scholarship Environment Committee encourages those disciplines new to research poster displays to try out this method of publicizing research and creative activity. The Provost's Office is providing seed money for the event. Those posters submitted through the portal will be printed for free. If a poster is not submit through the portal, it will not be printed and it will be the presenters responsibility. Awards will be handed out for poster presentations in each of the five listed categories (Undergraduate, Graduate, URE, KAMS, & Faculty)!

During the SACA celebration, presentations of faculty and student research provide an opportunity for learning about colleagues' work and stimulating productivity. We hope that you and your students are able to get involved. Here are a few ideas to integrate SACA into your students' classroom experience:
- Conduct class in conjunction with Research Week by encouraging students to present interactive creative work in the form of projects, recitals, plays, performances, demonstrations or shows for class credit.
- Provide extra credit or other incentives for attending relevant sessions, writing articles for publication, creating Web communications and taking photos/film clips.
- Assign students to write reactions to the information presented, or discuss ideas in class.
- Require students to attend SACA events in lieu of class time.
As this is the eighth year of SACA, making it effective is essential to its continuation! We need to show that it is vibrant and has participation. I would like to thank all the faculty who have supported this great event from the beginning and those now joining in the fun.
To find out more about or get involved in this year's event, contact me via e-mail or phone. I would love to help you get involved!
