IU Southeast faculty from every school showcased their work at this event via presentations and a poster session. The effects of the work across the southeastern region of Indiana has enhanced teaching at local schools, provided local governments and agencies knowledge that they need to improve the lives of people in the community, and has enriched the lives of local citizens with exciting artistic works and performances.

Faculty made presentations during two sessions in the morning and all attendees and speakers attended an award luncheon upon the conclusion of the presentations and posters.
