Get ready for Academic Showcase, UMD’s largest exhibition of undergraduate learning and the culminating event for second-year Scholars. Each spring, hundreds of sophomores present their practicum experiences through posters, performances, and presentations for faculty, peers, and families.
🎓 A signature Scholars tradition since 1997, Showcase gives students the chance to reflect, share, and build real-world presentation skills. Expect powerful insights from all programs including research from Data Justice Scholars.
Stay tuned for the official date…coming soon!
