The AddRan Student Research and Creativity Symposium (formerly known as the “AddRan Festival”) celebrates the scholarship and creativity of students who are majors or minors in the AddRan College of Liberal Arts. 

You can showcase your work in one of the following three ways:

• Creative Writing – Present poetry or prose in a small group (3-4 presenters). 
• Oral Presentations – Deliver a 10-to-15 minute traditional academic style presentation followed by a question and answer session. Small groups of 3-4 presenters.
• Poster Session – Prepare a poster. Contact the TCU Fab Lab for help with sizes and printing.

All presentations are in front of an audience of supportive faculty and fellow students. The atmosphere is that of a professional conference with an emphasis on curiosity and affirmation.

In addition, presentations and posters can be entered under the following sub-categories. There are cash prizes for the best entries in each sub-category.

• Asia Studies Contest – Presentations or poster on topics focusing on Asia are eligible.
• Middle East Studies Contest – Presentations or poster on topics related to the Middle East and Islam are eligible.
