"My experience with presenting at the FCAT Undergraduate Conference was inspiring. It provided an excellent opportunity for me to share my work and also see the amazing work of my peers."

SIAT STUDENT, FCAT UNDERGRADUATE CONFERENCE 2013

"The FCAT Conference was a great way for me and my team to present our project work that we spent two semesters creating in the SIAT Capstone Course. Presenting it to other students, faculty and community attendees was a fun experience and good opportunity to deliver a hands on demo of how our project worked."

Joseph Nicolai

CMNS STUDENT, FCAT UNDERGRADUATE CONFERENCE 2013

"Presenting at FCAT’s Undergraduate Conference was a privilege. This event allows students to participate in a public sphere much wider than the ones we've become accustomed to in the traditional university classroom setting. This was a rewarding challenge that I am grateful to have taken on. I'm excited to apply this experience as I go on to pursue my graduate studies."
