Innovation Showcase

The Innovation Showcase is a College of Business event that highlights practice-based learning projects completed by students in COB courses. Held during the winter semester, the event gives students the opportunity to present projects nominated by faculty members.

Industry judges review the projects, connect with students and select projects for recognition based on their business approach, quality of thought and communication.

If you are a COB student, ask your instructor how your project can be nominated for the 2027 Innovation Showcase. If you are interested in serving as a project partner, complete our partner interest form.
