糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock moves toward innovative presentations as future of student expo

The Student Research and Creative Works Expo at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is headed in a new direction.聽 This year鈥檚 event featured the Digital Hub, which showcased innovative presentation styles that are becoming more popular as research presentations move away from traditional poster presentations, said Dr. Jeremy Ecke, chair of the expo committee. Live radio broadcasts, documentaries, podcasts, virtual presentations, installations, and artist demonstrations are all a part of the new presentations styles in the Digital Hub in the Innovation category. 聽 About 100 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock students submitted 80 entries for the April 3 expo. The winners were announced during an awards ceremony April 18 in the Student Services Center. Chancellor Andrew Rogerson praised the student research and creative work, adding that students who collaborate with a professor are more likely to complete their program of study and are more prepared for graduate school. 鈥溙切腣log传媒 Little Rock is about setting students on a path to successful careers and presenting them with opportunities to make rich lives,鈥� Rogerson said. 鈥淐entral to this is our belief in the teacher-scholar model. The expo has encouraged collaboration and innovation between students and faculty.鈥� The winners of the new Innovation category include Jasmine Blunt and Kendrick Dunn, who presented a live radio show broadcast of the Expo. Blunt and Dunn also showcased a documentary they created featuring three local artists. The students are hoping to launch a business called 鈥淭he Influence,鈥� which provides individuals with a platform to express their creative works in Little Rock. The other winners of the innovation category included civil and construction engineering students Blake Johnston and Sam Kincannon, who were part of a team of students who constructed a working canoe out of concrete materials. They raced the concrete canoe as part of the American Society of Civil Engineers competition.
