      Huskies Showcase award winners.

      Students presented on 150+ projects throughout the showcase

      Students presented on more than 150 projects throughout the day. Types of projects presented included thesis, creative work, internship, research project, service learning experience or volunteer experience.

      The Showcase drew participants from across campus with faculty mentors supporting students in their projects in community research, creative works and scholarship across all disciplines at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

      Huskies Showcase gives the campus community an opportunity to engage with industry employers and regional communities to prepare St. Cloud State graduates for life, work and citizenship in the 21st century.

      Driven by the dimensions of Our Husky Compact, Huskies Showcase provides a place to showcase student engagement and achievement; the opportunity to engage with, support and celebrate student success; the opportunity to engage with industry, employers and regional communities; and a venue to showcase distinctive student experiences.
