Nearly every academic area at ΑρΑ«Φ±²¥ will be featured in the showcase, including social sciences, photography, welding, equine studies, music, education, and more.

The showcase concept can be traced back to 2019 and Associate Professor of History Amy McKinney’s Women in the West course. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of women’s suffrage, students in the class conducted presentations that were attended and well-received by members of the campus and community. Those students were able to present their work, discuss what they had learned throughout the semester, and also engage with attendees.
