About the WKU Student Scholar Showcase 

---

WKU has hosted the Student Scholar Showcase (formerly the Student Research Conference) since 1970. The Student Scholar Showcase is a conference that promotes student research and creative activity, showcasing WKU students’ accomplishments in the form of oral presentations, performances, posters, exhibits, and displays on their research and creative endeavors.

The 55th Annual WKU Student Scholar Showcase will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

WKU has a rich history of scholarly engagement of students. Scholarly activity has been defined as original and creative work that is shared with colleagues and the general public. Research is a form of scholarly activity that involves the discovery of new knowledge. Other forms of scholarship include the development of new technologies, methods, materials or uses; the integration of knowledge that leads to new understanding; and artistry that creates new insights and interpretations. As demonstrated by the past conferences, students significantly enrich their academic experiences at WKU by engaging in scholarly activity.
