The KnightEd Talks Student Showcase is a forum for students to share their best work with their peers during a 30-minute session in an in-house conference venue. This professional development opportunity enhances students’ scholarship and presentational skills. Student presenters engage in a mentoring relationship with faculty as they progress through all steps of the presentation process – from brainstorming a presentation topic, to honing one’s presentation, to presenting at the showcase. This experience, which can be included on one’s professional resume, shows initiative and a desire to be a lifelong learner – attributes highly valued by future employers.
