Posters and presentations filled UMW’s Hurley Convergence Center on Friday, April 21, 2023. Complex art projects transformed the ground floor of the Cedric Rucker University Center. Music emanated from the Weatherly Wing of Seacobeck Hall, and master’s research projects on effective teaching methods stretched into the evening.
In the newly named Leigh Frackelton Classroom in Woodard Hall, a Case Competition offered bragging rights and cash awards.
It all added up to UMW’s 17th annual Research and Creativity Symposium – a campuswide celebration of all things academic – by students from all three UMW colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of Business.
“Essentially, every building on campus has a showcase that day,” said Assistant Dean of Arts and Sciences Betsy Lewis, who leads the efforts and experience annually.
