The University of Arkansas at Little Rock will host its annual Research and Creative Works Expo from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, April 17, across two campus locations: the Creative and Scholarly Showcase from 12–2 p.m. in the Jack Stephens Center and Presentations and Performance from 2–4 p.m. in the Reynolds Business Building.

The expo will showcase the latest research, innovation, and creative projects at UA Little Rock — highlighting the wide range of work produced by its students. Projects span every department in all three colleges. High school students are invited to participate this year alongside undergraduate and graduate students.

Dr. Michael Moore, director of undergraduate research and mentoring, said the annual Research and Creative Works Expo is one of the most anticipated events on campus, offering a rare opportunity to see the full range of students’ creativity, innovation, and scholarly work on display. 

“Seeing the pure joy and pride on our students’ faces as they share their creations is the most rewarding part of the year for me,” Moore said. “I strongly encourage our UA Little Rock community to join me in celebrating the work of our students at Expo. I am counting down the days to see what they’ve dreamed up next.”

The event is free and open to the public. Organizers encourage the community to attend and celebrate the achievements of UA Little Rock students.
