SUNY Niagara welcomes the public to a Student Showcase on Thursday, April 21 in conjunction with the College’s Spring Open House.

SUNY Niagara will host a Student Showcase on Thursday, April 21 from 5:00-7:30 p.m.  This event gives students of the College an opportunity to display and explain a project connected to a classroom experience under the guidance of a faculty mentor.  Students present their work as either a poster project, table project, art exhibition, or performance.

This year the Student Showcase features projects in welding technology, animal training, curing meat, alternative birthing methods, the history of warships, and many more.  Cash prizes are given to the winning entries, with a grand prize of $1000.  Funds for the prizes are raised through donations made by faculty and staff, and winning projects are determined by a panel of judges comprised of SUNY Niagara staff members and emeritus faculty.  Judges review each project using a rubric assessing project appearance, content quality and presentation style.  “What I enjoy most is seeing the extremely high quality of the student’s work and their universal enthusiasm showing it off,” says Dr. Matthew Clarcq, History Professor and Coordinator of the Student Showcase.

The event will be held on the second floor of the Learning Commons during SUNY Niagara’s Spring Open House, and attendees will have an opportunity to vote for the People’s Choice Award, with a prize of $250.  For more information on the Student Showcase, visit https://www.niagaracc.suny.edu/showcase/

Student Showcase

SUNY Niagara Student Showcase is virtually remarkable

By News Archive

April 21, 2020

The SUNY Niagara Student Showcase has become an annual tradition, featuring students working with the help of Faculty mentors to create projects highlighting every division on campus.  In its third year, the Showcase was not able to be held on campus due to COVID-19, but that did not stop organizers from pushing forward in a virtual format.  “Knowing how much time and passion students pour into these projects, it seemed wasteful not to find a way to give the public at least a taste of what the students intended. Once presented with the new format, many students chose to add additional materials to their posters and abstracts so the public would understand the project’s real intention,” says Dr. Matthew Clarcq, Professor and Chairperson of the Student Showcase.

In the past, SUNY Niagara employees contributed donations that funded monetary prizes for winners in each category.   With the complexity of trying to assess projects remotely this year, and judges determined that all twenty-four participants deserved an equal cut of the prize money.  This additional income is likely a welcome boost for financially strapped college students, and well-deserved for the extra effort required to complete projects outside of their normal classroom assignments.

One additional prize will be awarded in the “People’s Choice” category, with the winner receiving $250.  The public is invited to view submissions for the Student Showcase and vote on their favorite entry through Friday, May 1, 2020 by visiting: http://niagaracc.suny.edu/showcase/
