Students SHINE
Students SHINE is a program all about students showing off their hard work, skills, and talents. Once a year, the program hosts Student Presentation Day, which provides an opportunity to showcase excellence in academic, technical, and/or professional projects and contributions created by students, usually within their courses, with a focus on the involvement and support of faculty sponsors.
