Celebrate, share research, scholarship, creative expression

Academic Showcase call for abstracts

All CAS faculty, staff, graduate students, and professional students are invited to leverage the power of ideas by sharing knowledge with colleagues and the WSU community at Academic Showcase, March 28 on the Pullman campus.

Abstracts of up to 250 words can be submitted online until Tuesday, Jan. 28.

Academic Showcase and the Showcase for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (SURCA) are opportunities to explore original research with other scientists and scholars who are discovering new knowledge and making a difference in the world.

Both events are part of WSU Showcase, the University’s annual salute to faculty, staff, and student achievement.

Showcase 2014 events will begin March 27 with the Distinguished Faculty Address, presented by an individual whose achievements in research, scholarship, and teaching have been extraordinary. Ken Nash, professor in the Department of Chemistry, delivered the 2013 Distinguished Faculty Address.

On March 28, Academic Showcase and SURCA will be followed by the Celebrating Excellence banquet and program honoring recipients of WSU’s highest awards as well as newly tenured and promoted faculty.
