One Idea, One Slide Summit

The One Idea/One Slide Summit provides an open and collaborative forum for faculty and staff to share their exciting ideas that advance academic excellence in research, education and impact. Ideas are encouraged from across campus, with the intent of identifying problems and opportunities, while simultaneously leveraging a community approach to potential solutions.

All are welcome to attend. Presenters will have two minutes and one slide to share their ideas. Audience members will be able to indicate an interest in participating in any of the presented projects.

This year more than 50 ideas were presented from groups of faculty and staff. The audience and presenters were also able to network, identifying partnerships and synergies.

Collaborate After the Summit

Faculty and staff are encouraged to view the recorded presentations and use this collaboration form to indicate their interest in any of the presented ideas. This approach creates inclusivity and may strengthen the ideas and approaches that are pursued. We expect that collaborative efforts will also uncover opportunities for enhancements and improvements.
