FCAT Undergraduate & Graduate Conference (UGC)

About the FCAT UGC

The FCAT Undergraduate & Graduate Conference (UGC) is a celebration and exploration of the diverse range of high-quality student work produced within our faculty. Up until the 2023 FCAT UGC, the presenters were strictly for undergraduate students; however, starting in 2024 the conference also started hosting graduate students as well.

Students from each of our schools and programs have had the opportunity to showcase performances, papers, installations, and displays. At the 2023 UGC, we had over 110 students presenting 53 projects from the School of Communications, School of Interactive Arts and Technology, School for the Contemporary Arts and the Publishing program. We had the pleasure of hosting over 200 students, faculty, staff, friends, alumni and community members at this interdisciplinary event of inspiring student work!
