INFORMATION FOR STAFF & FACULTY
Research and Creative Activities Symposium (RaCAS)
The Student Research and Creative Activities Symposium provides a forum for students to present their faculty-mentored research, creative, or other scholarly activity to the university community. This event showcases the accomplishments of our most motivated students, engaged in scholarly activities across disciplines. Students not yet engaged in research are encouraged to attend to learn more about getting involved. We hope you and your students will participate in this year's event.
The deadline to submit abstracts is Friday, April 1, 2022.
Faculty mentors are strongly encouraged to attend the Symposium and to assist their students with abstract development and presentation practice or poster design, particularly students who have not yet presented their work for a general audience. The presentations are intended to stimulate discussion among presenters, faculty mentors, and the CU Denver community.

Register to Review Student Presentations
RaCAS reviewers volunteer their time, enthusiasm, and expertise to help our students grow as researchers and creative scholars. Reviewers engage directly with students and their projects; asking questions, guiding discussions, and providing constructive input that supports the educational mission of the symposium. CU Denver faculty, staff, and community partners are encouraged to sign up to review projects in-person on April 29th.
