What is Student Showcase?
The UAA Student Showcase Program highlights the extraordinary work of students throughout the University of Alaska Anchorage system.
Each year Student Showcase creates an opportunity for dialogue among university and community members. Students submit their best work; an anonymous review is done by a faculty member of the submission discipline; highest marks are presented at the Conference; and distinguished community members are invited to the Conference to evaluate, critique, and comment on students' works.
Student Showcase Academic conference, Award Ceremony, and Journal publication celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2004. The Conference still remains unique in the State of Alaska; only students present original papers and projects. The Student Showcase Committee reviews policies and procedures, promotional materials, and selected award winners.
Awards for top papers & projects included: publication in the 2009 Student Showcase Journal, a $300 cash prize and a $100 UAA Bookstore gift certificate.
