Calling All Seniors!

Each year, the Showcase provides a space for up to 20 students to present their senior work in a 3-minute presentation. Prior to the showcase, each participant will attend an opening workshop and then be paired with a speaking associate who will provide individual coaching.

The Process
  1. Students must be first NOMINATED by faculty, staff,  peers, or by themselves.
  2. If nominated, that student may then apply to be considered to participate in Senior Showcase.
  3. Students will then be notified if they have been accepted to present.

All students who are selected will be required to participate in four meetings in preparation for the final event:

  1. An information session.
  2. A practice run-through with Speaking Associates in March.
  3. A practice run-through with a fellow showcase member between April 1-15.
  4. A dress rehearsal with feedback from staff and faculty in Chang Hou Hall (SCI 101). You can choose the date you prefer:
    1. Wednesday, April 16th, 2025 from 5:00-6:00pm
    2. Thursday, April 17th 2025 from 11:30-1:00pm
    3. Monday, April 21th 2025 from 4:00-5:30pm
