Get ready for the 2025 COLFA Research Conference and Showcase! This annual event offers students at all levels (graduate and undergraduate) opportunities to showcase their original academic and creative work for a community of scholars, friends, and the community.
Why Participate?
Share your small bit of genius, gain experience, build your resume, post to social media, boast to family and friends, win cash prizes!
You already wrote the paper, created the artwork, learned the language. And you earned the “A.” You know it’s good. Why not share it with the world!

Which category is best for me?
