The UWL Research & Creativity Symposium (ReCS) is a significant event hosted at the UWL Student Union in La Crosse, United States, dedicated to showcasing the research and creativity achievements of the campus community. This symposium emphasizes the essential role faculty and academic staff play as mentors in the scholarly activity process and encourages the dissemination of scholarly work from various disciplines within the UWL academic community. Participants can look forward to more than 270 poster and oral presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff, fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment for sharing innovative ideas and research findings.The presentations are structured into several sessions, allowing attendees to choose from various options. For poster presentations and visual arts/exhibits, sessions are 55 minutes long, with multiple time slots available throughout the day. Additionally, oral presentations are 25 minutes each, and participants are encouraged to select at least three session options to maximize their engagement. All members of the UWL community, including recently graduated seniors, are eligible to present their work, regardless of whether it has been funded by a UWL faculty, staff, or student grant. This inclusive approach ensures a diverse range of research and creative activities are represented at the symposium, highlighting the vibrant academic culture at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
