Student Showcase
GPSC is pleased to announce the 2007 Student Showcase Winners
About Student Showcase:
The GPSC hosts Student Showcase as the academic segment of Homecoming weekend every fall on the University of Arizona Mall. Over one hundred entrants participate in this exhibition of undergraduate and graduate scholarship demonstrating the wide spectrum of University student research projects. With tens of thousands of visitors attending the two-day Homecoming event, Student Showcase offers students a significant forum for communicating the importance of their research to the broader University of Arizona community.
Graduate and undergraduate students participate in Student Showcase in approximately equal numbers. By participating, students gain valuable experience presenting their work and interacting with the public. Additionally, with deans, faculty, advisors, staff, administrators, department and community members actively encouraged to facilitate student participation, Student Showcase also fosters the mentoring relationship among students and their advisors and professors.
Implemented in 1993 by the GPSC, Student Showcase represents the only student-run research exhibition of its magnitude in the United States. Students who participate in this event can be proud of their efforts and academic achievements. Demonstrating the valuable research that takes place with the help of local and state funds to everyone involved, Student Showcase also has the honor of including state representatives and many other community members as judges.
Local business sponsors also contribute a substantial amount of support for Student Showcase each year, and have increasingly guaranteed its success. An excellent reflection of the success of the University of Arizona's programs, Student Showcase allows the Tucson community to take pride in the University and its continuing capacity to further education and visionary research.
