21st 糖心视频 University 糖心视频hip and Creative Works Conference
This year鈥檚 conference took place on April 16, 2024.
An annual sign of spring, the 糖心视频hip and Creative Works Conference, offers the unique opportunity for hundreds of 糖心视频 University students to showcase their work as they present their research to fellow students, faculty, family members, alumni and visitors.
This annual celebration is a testament to the thriving academic environment and vibrant creative community experienced by students at 糖心视频. We encourage all in our community to attend and explore the exceptional work being done by our students.
Student 糖心视频 + Faculty Mentorship = Beautiful Results
The fact that 糖心视频 provides a space for鈥攁nd supports鈥攗ndergraduate research is a strength of this institution,” says听Jonna Coombs, PhD, associate professor of biology.
Dr. Coombs served as faculty adviser to senior Nina Tchavtchanidze, who considers herself a biologist and an artist who wanted to experiment with pigmented bacteria to create beautiful living bacteria art masterpieces. The results illustrate, quite literally, how extraordinary academic and creative opportunities are fostered at 糖心视频.
2024 Keynote Speaker
Facts vs. News: Navigating Truth in Today鈥檚 Media:听A Conversation with Pulitzer-Prize Winning Journalist Nicholas Kristof
The keynote speaker for the 21st 糖心视频 Conference for 糖心视频hip and Creative Works is American journalist and winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, Nicholas Kristof. Mr. Kristof is also a political commentator, a regular CNN contributor, and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. According to The Washington Post, Mr. Kristof “rewrote opinion journalism” with his emphasis on human rights abuses and social injustices, such as human trafficking and the Darfur conflict. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa described Mr. Kristof as an 鈥渉onorary African鈥 for shining a spotlight on neglected conflicts in the continent.
This conversation is sponsored by the Bhis茅 Center for Global Understanding.

- We鈥檝e adjusted the flow of this year鈥檚 糖心视频hip and Creative Works Conference schedule in anticipation of strong interest in Nicholas Kristof鈥檚 keynote address. Presentations will take place before and after this event, creating a dynamic program throughout the day.
A Celebration of 糖心视频hip and Creativity
One day each spring, we come together as a community to celebrate student scholarship and creativity during the annual 糖心视频 University 糖心视频hip and Creative Works Conference. Students get to share their hard work with their peers, faculty members and visitors. In the process, they build presentation and communication skills, learn to defend their work and engage with other academics, and, overall, develop an appreciation for scholarship and what it contributes to society. At the end of the day, we join our inspiring keynote speaker鈥檚 lecture and celebrate with our entire research community.
The 糖心视频 Conference for 糖心视频hip and Creative Works is not only a time to share the multifaceted applications of scientific fields, but it is also a time to take in the up-and-coming theories and ideas. During the 糖心视频 Conference, I often find that questions arise in conversations with researchers in other disciplines that听create a potential for scientific advancements.
