Lightning Talks
Each year, the Faculty Symposium includes lightning talk sessions where faculty and staff share 90-second presentations about their work and opportunities for collaboration. Please consider presenting a lightning talk. Examples of topics included:
- Current research or creative work
- Research idea in preparation for a project proposal
- Community engagement project to encourage interdisciplinary participation
- Work of a Research or Engagement Center to foster collaboration
- Teaching innovation that can be adapted to other disciplines
- University-wide services such as a core research facility, library initiative, media teaching lab that can help faculty advance their teaching, research, and scholarship activities
Think about presenting a lighting talk for the 2025 Faculty Symposium.
