Posted by Andy Cunningham on April 17, 2025 at 2:51 PM

This morning, the university held our annual Undergraduate Conference for Research and Creative Practice in Hammond Hall. The conference is a public forum to enhance student's  skills, to share their work, to see the work of others in their field, and to give and receive valuable feedback. The conference was free to attend and open to the public. We're proud of the work our undergraduate community does -  from the opening performance of Creative Arts Therapies major  Autumn Hughes, attendees ad the opportunity to observe lighting talks, oral & poster presentations, panel discussions, Arteries exhibit, and more! Here are some photos, check back for Take Two to see more photos.
