The Community Creative Achievement Day is a new annual event focused on the research and community projects of Winona State University-Rochester students and faculty.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WSU-Rochester held the first CCAD as an online symposium on Thursday, April 16, 2020.
Students and faculty presented their academic and public service work as a way to connect with the community and to highlight our creative achievements.
Presentations from the 2020 CCAD are now available to view online. Members of Minnesota State system colleges and universities can login with their Star ID to watch full presentations on mediaspace. Presentations are also accessible to the public on YouTube. See the full 2020 CCAD program and videos below.
Thank you to the students and faculty that shared their research and work with our community. We look forward to joining together again next year for another Community Creative Achievement Day.
