Literary Event: URCAD

Tomorrow is our Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day. Undergrads from all over campus will be presenting their work in a variety of formats (last year I moderated a panel of presentations, one of which was a film prepared by a student in anthropology who visited Ghana and chronicled the art of drum making--it was the coolest bit of undergrad "creative activity" I'd ever seen!). Any part of this would be perfect to write up on the "literary event" page. And there's free food. Here's more info from Jason Jones, who organizes URCAD:

Dear everyone,

This is just a quick note to say that tomorrow is Undergraduate Research & Creative Achievement Day (URCAD). Please announce it to your students, and encourage them to come see student work!
